🌟Here are some resources and notes about doing research that I’ve been compiling since I started my PhD.🌟

I rely on these often, and after sharing them with a few folks in my group who found them useful, I thought it could be of use to the broader community 🧵👇 (1/n)

Porto, Portugal 🇵🇹 June-July 2025

One of the prettiest and liveliest cities I’ve traveled to ✨ 🚤

🚨More tiny experiments that seem benign: linear probing on frozen features (but again not explicitly making BatchNorm params to .eval) can have big implications.

Best test accuracy: 71.20% at Epoch 10, for Learning Rate = 0.01 Makes a hell of a lot of difference! Almost 10% 🚨

Seemingly innocuous error that I see students making time and again: model.eval() or param.eval() for models with norm layers (like batch-norm) is critical. Especially when freezing ❄️ certain layers and training rest.

Had my older MTB catching dust in the bike room, took 2 hours to replace both tyres and tubes with brand new ones, new brakes, and chain cleaned + greased. 💥

Pretty relaxing and a nice rejuvinating break from research✨

P.S.: Once you are used to driving road bikes, MTBs seem too slow 🤪

Wow 🤯
So I have now read the Big Three Ayn Rand Books, atlas shrugged, the fountainhead, and anthem. And I have this to say: she’s bad at writing books, so bad, in fact, that I find her popularity genuinely strange

Had a great time presenting our work at ICLR 2025 in Singapore 🇸🇬.

Lot of great interactions, meeting amazing people and a very well organised conference 🌟.

It was great to catch up with old colleagues and meet new folks.

🚀 I will be @iclr_conf in Singapore next week presenting our recent work.

We answer how exactly does "What you explain depend on how you train". 🤓

We will be @ Hall 3 + Hall 2B #492 (26th April, 3PM - 5:30 PM)

Please reach out via dm if interestd in a chat or ☕️

Congratulations to Max Losch for successfully defending his PhD! 🥳🎉🎓

In his thesis, "Improving Trustworthiness of Deep Learning via Inspectable and Robust Representations", he explores transparency and robustness of deep networks. We wish him the best!

Reminder that semantic segmentation evaluation numbers are dependent on the image resolution…but less than one may think (see 4x and 8x downsampling results.

So far, 2,135 people have responded to the poll Søren and I posted a few days ago. Of those, 94.4% replied “Yes” to being interested in officially presenting accepted @neuripsconf.bsky.social papers in Europe. (1/7)

With systems like PaperBench -the reproducibility tracks at conferences will now also have AI participants 😃😉

Infact, (soonish) the reviewing process could be supported with pipelines that can authenticate claims and results made in papers. 🤓
