I have finally received my PhD from @UniofOxford @oxcsml (and felt incredibly cool in the gown)!! On a slightly belated note, I have been working as a Research Scientist on language models and privacy at @GoogleDeepMind . Stay tuned for the research from my amazing team 🥳🎉

My first oral!! Come around to Eindhoven at 4 pm today @UncertaintyInAI #UAI2022 . The stars of my talk: four different estimators of differentially private importance weights. I promise that at least one of them will make your synthetic data look more real!

This would have not been possible without the help of many and many people. For the purpose of tagging accounts with many followers, I want to thank @StatMLIO @OxfordStats @Novartis @MSFTResearch and most importantly my supervisor @cholmesuk for supporting my studies.

It was such a pleasure to work with this amazing team. Are deep ensembles Bayesian or not?? Check out our paper to find out.

@vdwild @SGhalebikesabi @sejDino and I rigorously connected Bayesian methods to deep ensembles using Wasserstein gradient flows! Our results are summarised in a recent NeurIPS oral paper (), a 30-minute talk (), and below:

Proud to announce that we had \geq 0 people attending our AISTATS poster! We ( @rob_cornish , Luke Kelly, @cholmesuk ) bring back nonignorable missingness models, which were proposed by Little and Rubin in a time where neural networks were not as popular

Have you ever been curious to know how your fancy NN behaves at a single prediction? Then check out our ( @TerLucile *, @karlado , @cholmesuk ) paper where we improve upon local explanation models (i.e. SHAP) by imposing a neighbourhood distribution as reference

We are creating a repo of negative results such that all beautiful ML ideas that did not work are easily searchable. If you know of a negative result tag @ICBINBWorkshop or fill out this form The more researchers engage, the more useful this becomes!

A yearly workshop is not enough to summarise all the beautiful ideas that did not work. So we are starting a *Repository of Negative Results*. Tag @ICBINBWorkshop whenever you see an idea that did not work, and we will add it to our Repo! Feedback welcomed

Shapley values explain the behaviour of a black box at a single prediction x by attributing each feature of the model with a numeric value. Roughly speaking, the Shapley value of feature j is the expected difference of the black box when evaluating it on an observation where ...

feature j takes value x_j and an observation where feature j was sampled from a pre-specified distribution. These distributions have so far been chosen globally, so we propose neighbourhood distributions that come with many nice properties!
