Consider applying! I had an amazing experience during my PhD in OATML - reach out here (or LinkedIn, which I check much more often), if you have questions!
Reminder - PhD applications for OATML are now open The first funding deadline is December 2 - candidates interested in developing Bayesian deep learning methodology, applications of ML, AI security, and understanding ML methodology are encouraged to apply More info:

π£ Calling all Project and Program Managers! My colleague is running a survey on trust & AI tools in program management as part of her Master's at Oxford. Whether you're an early adopter, a skeptic - no experience with AI needed! Take the survey here:

Truly never thought my interests in @taylorswift13 and AI would overlap - anyone wanna trade friendship bracelets with me at NeurIPS?
The start date for NeurIPS2024 has been changed to Tuesday, December 10, allowing delegates to arrive on Monday for the Tuesday morning sessions. This adjustment is necessary due to limited hotel availability on Sunday night. The only corresponding change in the schedule is that

Love this idea so much, application-driven and method-driven ML do not exist outside of one another!
People often ask: is your research on #machinelearning applications or foundational research? My answer: this is a false dichotomy. In our new paper, we describe the paradigm of application-driven ML research & how it impacts ML research & the real world π https://t.co/izakEHfV4j

The absolute BEST decision I ever made was applying to AIMS - applications close this Friday, March 15th!
Exciting news, especially if you want to do a fully-funded AI PhD at Oxford! The AIMS CDT has been successfully renewed (with many thanks to #EPSRC_CDTs) for another five years! We look forward to welcoming the next generation of AI experts to Oxford

Coming out of hiatus to share an article I was featured in on "Why Oxford is the place to be for graduates thinking of AI careers in research, industry and more": https://t.co/rtTw83pjf0 I feel truly so lucky for the opportunities I've had at @UniofOxford & @aims_oxford! β¨
