Who am I, and why am I here? #introduction

I am a machine learning researcher, using tools from #Bayes, #stats, #optimization, #informationgeometry, #deeplearning, signal processing, etc.

I care deeply about people, their well-being, inclusion, diversity, equity, privacy, and justice.

I believe in slow and rigorous scientific process, to add value to existing knowledge, and improve positive impact on society.

I am here to learn about all of these.

A new post-doc/research scientist position is available in our group! Please help me spread the word.

Pensando muito nisso aqui 🤯

I bet sometimes lice go in wigs without realizing it's a wig and when they find out they feel so dumb.

I can't wait for the big game.

@harshad Love changes that take place during sunrises and sunsets. You are absolutely right about the urgency of time. Some of my sunsets have been so fleeting, like 30 seconds in which a minute delay means a complete bust on getting the most amazing picture.

Summer where I live, the sun takes 4 minutes from this stage of sunset in attached picture until the whole sun disappears. Winter, it takes 60 seconds.

@karenyin I use post in all the Fediverse apps I work on. “Toot” just seemed weird to me and “Publish” is just too long. “Post” hits the Goldilocks spot 😛

#Introduction
hej, i’m intrigued abt this move 🌌 🪐 .

i’m hoping to connect with those interested in #RStats, #Psychology and #MentalHealth.

i’m a psychology researcher working with computer scientists to develop the r-package {text} (https://r-text.org/) that enables you to use state-of-the-art #NaturalLanguageProcessing and #MachineLearning techniques to analyze natural language data.

i’m planning to share updates we do to the text-package 📦 under #RStats and #Rtext

Peace out ✌️

One thing I miss about living in Scotland is nobody knows Jewish holidays so you never have to work. excuse me, you want me to come to the office on tu bishvat? yeah ok I think the TREES will have something to say about THAT one

Hey all, I hope you're having a great start to the week.

I try not to get ahead of myself, but I can't help getting excited about the prospects of Spring. There's something special about the woods coming alive after a long winter.

That said, winter is still my favourite season - it can be so varied and rewarding when everything aligns perfectly.

Here's an image from a cold morning in January.

@aspiringcat I just think a lot of people are just lazy … even to the point of not bothering to ask somebody else what they can Google/research for themselves 😝

My pet peeve is people asking you for information that you’ve given them before. Asking twice is OK, but asking every single time because they can’t be bothered to remember something? That’s just annoying … Happens to me way too many times these days …

Dandelion, refracted. I like this one because it shows an 'old' flower that almost appears to be dreaming of younger days, with the full-bloom flower refracted through the water droplet. I think it might be one of my favorite photos I've ever taken. (though still some technical aspects I'd like to improve upon...) #PhotoMonday #photography #macro #flowers #reflection #water #WSSA23 #weeds #weedscience

did someone say birds time???

The covered run for the young chickens developed THOUSANDS of tiny icicles. The photo does NOT do it justice. I should have got out the fancy camera and tried to get a better image, but even with the fancy camera, I'm not much of a photographer.

I have to have a covered enclosure for my young chickens because a family of red tailed hawks moved into the area. The hawks can't (or very rarely) kill full-sized chickens (though they try), but they sure can kill smaller chickens.

I agree with Sun Tzu.
