Mohsenzadeh Lab will be at VSS with these presentations this year! Looking forward to seeing you @VSSMtg #VSS2025
Brandon (Yu) Hu is presenting his poster in @VSSMtg Banyan Breezeway (#310) this morning! Please check it out!

U of T will be hiring next year. Senior people should reach out in advance.
My largest remaining NSF grant, which was awarded by a competitive process on the recommendation of national experts, was terminated yesterday. The money would have paid for PhD students to invent better AI systems for everyday people who need programs written for them but ...

I'm teaching databases this semester at Berkeley. My students all seem unusually brilliant. Not many go to office hours, and not too many folks post on the course forum asking project questions. Weirdly, the exam had the lowest recorded average in my 10 semesters teaching it.
BREAKING: Amii Chief Scientific Advisor, Richard S. Sutton, has been awarded the A.M. Turing Award, the highest honour in computer science, alongside Andrew Barto! Read the official @TheOfficialACM announcement: hubs.la/Q039nZXM0 #TuringAward #AI #ReinforcementLearning
