ML Researcher/Engineer #NowIntoCausality

Joined November 2018
This is not a particularly good take and is indicative of a fundamental misunderstanding of what a top-tier technical college education is suppose to offer. Preparing to understand modern AI as a Harvard or Stanford undergrad is not about learning "prompt engineering", vibe
Harvard and Stanford students tell me their professors don't understand AI and the courses are outdated. If elite schools can't keep up, the credential arms race is over. Self-learning is the only way now.

Traditional trial analyses rely on effect hypotheses (Metthew Effect), i.e., what does a treatment affect? We propose a novel empiricist approach to the problem, generating effect hypotheses without supervision. How? Disentangling effects within interpretable representations

$9,000 left, and ~2 weeks to go to the Deep Learning Indaba. These students have made their research posters, gotten their visas, started packing. But *some won’t get on the plane* unless we close the gap. Every $ counts. Let’s not leave anyone behind:🙏🏿 https://t.co/7NdV67ENK0

The opportunity gap in AI is more striking than ever. We talk way too much about those receiving $100M or whatever for their jobs, but not enough those asking for <$1k to present their work. For 3rd year in a row, @ml_collective is raising funds to support @DeepIndaba attendees.

@DeepIndaba is more than an event, it’s a chance to learn, connect, and build as African researchers. 25 of us from @ml_collective are fundraising to get there. Support the dream 🔗

I’ve now been accepted to Deep Learning Indaba 2025. Although I wasn’t offered a travel grant, MLC stepped up to support me and 24 other members. As most of us are not affiliated with any lab, attending DLI 2025 will present tremendous opportunities for us. 3/n

Recently, I attended the Machine Learning Summer School in Senegal, where I had the chance to connect with leading researchers in causality. I also presented our work "Towards Robust Generalization in African AI" to be submitted to a neurips workshop. 2/n

We're halfway there! https://t.co/NTMEJTMuHr To me, @ml_collective is a cheat code to becoming a researcher from a constraint environment. Many of its members are now PhD students at top labs across Europe and North America, people who, not long ago, were in the same position 1/n

Yes, the opportunity gap has less to do about talent and much to do about how said talent is developed. @ml_collective believed. @DeepIndaba provides the platform. Let’s help 25 people get that development. https://t.co/AL3ZSf6rr4

Over a year ago, I was new to research without a clearly defined research area. It initially felt ambiguous, with little understanding of the prerequisites for conducting ML research. But @ml_collective gave me the platform to build my foundation. Although before that... /1

@ml_collective has created a space for people like me and so many others to grow, ask questions, and take our first steps into ML research without feeling out of place. That kind of support means everything.

We don’t just dream, we work tirelessly to solve Africa problems with the little resource we have access to. A little donation will help 25 AI researchers attend Indaba to present their works. @AgbogaVictor @thatroblennon @AndrewYNg @james_mtc @KirkDBorne

ML Collective is bridging the gap in AI by making it possible for these young researchers to attend @DeepIndaba ’s annual conference this year. Please consider supporting these undergrads by donating to this cause. They've all shared their stories in the video from this tweet ❤️.

Last year, I transitioned to ML from SWE through MLC. Today, I’m already working on my second research project. Being a part of @ml_collective and attending @DeepIndaba has given me clarity and speed. Now, 25 of us are hoping to attend the next indaba, and we need your support

@DeepIndaba 2025 is more than a conference. It is where I can learn from Africans solving real problems with AI. Being there would mean gaining knowledge I can carry back to my community. https://t.co/MPiQAsuckx

/1 Some career turning points don't look dramatic. A visa approved, a face-to-face chat, someone saying, “You should submit that,” or the chance to attend Indaba as an African student. Avoiding the “I came from nothing” story; just 25 early-career researchers doing solid...
