Introduction: Lev Reyzin points out the CI Fellows program is renewed . CI Fellows are essentially NSF funded computer science postdocs for universities and industry research labs. I’ve been lucky and happy to have Lev visit me for a year under last year’s program , so I strongly recommend participating if it suits you. As with last year, the application timeline is very short, with everything due by May 23.

Introduction: Lev Reyzin points out the CI Fellows Project . Essentially, NSF is funding 60 postdocs in computer science for graduates from a wide array of US places to a wide array of US places. This is particularly welcome given a tough year for new hires. I expect some fraction of these postdocs will be in ML. The time frame is quite short, so those interested should look it over immediately.

5 0.31508306 147 hunch net-2006-01-08-Debugging Your Brain
Introduction: One part of doing research is debugging your understanding of reality. This is hard work: How do you even discover where you misunderstand? If you discover a misunderstanding, how do you go about removing it? The process of debugging computer programs is quite analogous to debugging reality misunderstandings. This is natural—a bug in a computer program is a misunderstanding between you and the computer about what you said. Many of the familiar techniques from debugging have exact parallels. Details When programming, there are often signs that some bug exists like: “the graph my program output is shifted a little bit” = maybe you have an indexing error. In debugging yourself, we often have some impression that something is “not right”. These impressions should be addressed directly and immediately. (Some people have the habit of suppressing worries in favor of excess certainty. That’s not healthy for research.) Corner Cases A “corner case” is an input to a program wh

Introduction: A reminder that the New York Academy of Sciences will be hosting the 7th Annual Machine Learning Symposium tomorrow from 9:30am. The main program will feature invited talks from Peter Bartlett , William Freeman , and Vladimir Vapnik , along with numerous spotlight talks and a poster session. Following the main program, hackNY and Microsoft Research are sponsoring a networking hour with talks from machine learning practitioners at NYC startups (specifically bit.ly , Buzzfeed , Chartbeat , and Sense Networks , Visual Revenue ). This should be of great interest to everyone considering working in machine learning.

3 0.78614414 38 hunch net-2005-03-09-Bad Reviewing
Introduction: This is a difficult subject to talk about for many reasons, but a discussion may be helpful. Bad reviewing is a problem in academia. The first step in understanding this is admitting to the problem, so here is a short list of examples of bad reviewing. Reviewer disbelieves theorem proof (ICML), or disbelieve theorem with a trivially false counterexample. (COLT) Reviewer internally swaps quantifiers in a theorem, concludes it has been done before and is trivial. (NIPS) Reviewer believes a technique will not work despite experimental validation. (COLT) Reviewers fail to notice flaw in theorem statement (CRYPTO). Reviewer erroneously claims that it has been done before (NIPS, SODA, JMLR)—(complete with references!) Reviewer inverts the message of a paper and concludes it says nothing important. (NIPS*2) Reviewer fails to distinguish between a DAG and a tree (SODA). Reviewer is enthusiastic about paper but clearly does not understand (ICML). Reviewer erroneously

Introduction: Hunch.net has shifted to a new server, and wordpress has been updated to the latest version. If anyone notices difficulties associated with this, please comment. (Note that DNS updates can take awhile so the shift may not yet be complete.) More generally, this is a good time to ask for suggestions. What would make this blog more useful?
5 0.70336896 199 hunch net-2006-07-26-Two more UAI papers of interest
Introduction: In addition to Ed Snelson’s paper, there were (at least) two other papers that caught my eye at UAI. One was this paper by Sanjoy Dasgupta, Daniel Hsu and Nakul Verma at UCSD which shows in a surprisingly general and strong way that almost all linear projections of any jointly distributed vector random variable with finite first and second moments look sphereical and unimodal (in fact look like a scale mixture of Gaussians). Great result, as you’d expect from Sanjoy. The other paper which I found intriguing but which I just haven’t groked yet is this beast by Manfred and Dima Kuzmin. You can check out the (beautiful) slides if that helps. I feel like there is something deep here, but my brain is too small to understand it. The COLT and last NIPS papers/slides are also on Manfred’s page. Hopefully someone here can illuminate.
