Dr. Fauci really shouldn't be commenting on issues that are unequivocally statutory authority issues.

FIRST ON @CNN: Dr. Fauci's first public comments on the mask court decision "We are concerned about that about the courts getting involved in things that are unequivocally a public health decision," he tells me. "This is a CDC issue, should not have been a court issue."

Increasingly, computers are being used to make real-world decisions: from climate modelling to drug design. This week's #PhilTransA issue explores how we can ensure that these decisions are as reliable as possible. ow.ly/i92q50E71bo @PVCoveney @whydoitweet

I have a PostDoc position available for ~17 months (depending on candidate's experience). It's for a joint project with the Systems Biology group at @institutpasteur PostDocs with experience in theoretical CS (algorithms & complexity style), optimization, AI particularly welcome!

I look forward to working closer with everyone at AI Machines soon...

I’m very pleased to announce that a company I co-founded, AI Machines, has been acquired by Invenia! I will be happily continuing as an advisor to Invenia, while maintaining my roles at Google, and the University of Cambridge.



Facebook's Adaptive Experimentation team reporting some NeurIPS 2020 results, comparing with a version of my 15 year-old multiobjective BO algorithm, ParEGO.

2b. Our method is a good deal faster than entropy search methods, and provides better optimization performance. Surprisingly, we found that our implementation of ParEGO (which uses a composite objective) easily beats Thompson sampling.

Excellent. Truly proper.

Sadly, I only own the Stilton (stinking out the housemate's fridge) and the @SebastianFaulks imitation, but the latter does not stink!

I heartily recommend jars of Stilton. Not as heartily as I recommend PG Wodehouse, you know, but a bit. (Having said that, TOGETHER...) 🎄🎄🎄



Hmmmph. Luckily, the kids have uk passports...

Our EU-passported spouses are apparently 'bargaining chips'. Parties speaking like this can forget getting *my* vote...
