Some of the best computer scientists I have met and are friends with have studied at #SharifUniversity. Today, this university is under attack by a ruthless dictatorial regime that is targeting the brightest of people. Be their voice, social awareness matters #IranProtests

1/6) India is on fire. 7 people will die/min unless we set up hospital beds+oxygen. Sending concentrators is not sufficient. Hospital beds need that and more! So, #PoojaMalik, #NeerajGarg and I decided to set up onemorebreath.org. I will donate $20/re-tweet upto $100K

(1/3) Ruth Bader Ginsburg lived a towering life. She should be admired, remembered, and honored.
It would be nice if our politics allowed even a day to pass before pouncing on the death of a patriot for political purposes.

Now is not the time to cut our nation off from the world’s talent or create uncertainty and anxiety. Immigrants play a vital role at our company and support our country’s critical infrastructure. They are contributing to this country at a time when we need them most.

When data are reused, the impact of their collection is multiplied. These data continue to be used in ways that could not have been anticipated at the outset. It is time to acknowledge data as a valuable scientific output. #openscience go.nature.com/317UIaq @NatureNews

MNIST reborn, restored and expanded.
Now with an extra 50,000 training samples.
If you used the original MNIST test set more than a few times, chances are your models overfit the test set. Time to test them on those extra samples. arxiv.org/abs/1905.10498
