Feeling very honored to see my thesis recognized this way 🥳

@aclrollingreview.bsky.social Hey! I have some non-academic co-authors whose openreview account might not be approved in time for the current ARR deadline. How should I proceed in this case?

I also wonder whether non US-based people do not want to go to US-based conferences since Trump

Did they give a reason for the drop in US authors? 🤔

Isn't that still quite vague though? Because which kind of consumer device are we talking about 🙃

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

If you're finishing your camera-ready for ACL or ICML and want to cite co-first authors more fairly, I just made a simple fix to do this! Just add $^*$ to the authors' names in your bibtex, and the citations should change :) github.com/tpimentelms/...

Inline citations with only first author name, or first two co-first author names.

Aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty are clear-cut concepts, right? ... right? 😵‍💫 In our new ICLR blogpost we let different schools of thought speak and contradict each other, and revisit chatbots where “the character of aleatory ‘transforms’ into epistemic” iclr-blogposts.github.io/2025/blog/re...

I ascribe the success mostly to what might my nicest figure. Took an eternity to write, was rejected twice, and every new paper that came out during the time of writing that I had to read it felt like my last nail (but I didn't learn since I am working on another survey rn)

Figure showing uncertainty quantification on the Iris dataset using ensemble and MC Dropout models. On the left, images of three Iris species are displayed: (a) Iris setosa, (b) Iris versicolor, and (c) Iris virginica. The center scatter plot visualizes sepal length vs. sepal width with data points colored by class and black stars representing test points. Triangular plots labeled ①, ②, and ③ highlight predicted class probabilities for the test points, showing density heatmaps of prior predictions and overlayed ensemble (orange x) and MC Dropout (purple dot) predictions in a probability simplex. A legend identifies each Iris species and the test points.

I couldn’t find a copy of hacking online earlier :-( Hora also seems comparatively late to the shafer reference from my other reply

Dennis Ulmer @ACL26 @dnnslmr.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

Went down that direction already and got stuck 😬 I think it seems like one of these facts that appears as common knowledge so many people don't even add a citation to it

000

Dennis Ulmer @ACL26 @dnnslmr.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

In an earlier work in 1976, he argues for these terms based on some ideas of Poisson (see second screenshot). But I think (???) that this might be the time these terms were defined (also see how aleatoric was actually named aleatory), since I cannot find any occurrences of the phrases before 1975.

Dennis Ulmer @ACL26 @dnnslmr.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

To give my own answer (so far): I found this paper by Shafer from 1978 describing how some of these ideas go back to the 18th century to Bernoulli & Lambert (but weren't even called probabilities back then, and later only "objective" and "subjective" probabilities)

My friday question for Machine Learning Bluesky: Who termed the words aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty? Going nuts trying to find the original citation. #ml #machinelearning

bc i haven't done so yet, i decided to burn any remaining bridge to the land of statistics. it wasn't statisticians nor statistics but it was me. i am simply not good enough to do statistics myself. so, @peyrardmax.bsky.social and i decided to turn statistical estimation into supervised learning.
