🌟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)

Easy to catch on smaller datasets / experiments (eg CIFAR100). 🚨

🚨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.

Classic fM is a gem to listen to great ensembles of classical music, and also get to experience the old-school radio fM vibes ✨

🎉 Exciting News #CVPR2025!

We’re proud to announce that we have 5 papers accepted to the main conference and 7 papers accepted at various CVPR workshops this year!

We’re looking forward to sharing our research with the community in Nashville!

Stay tuned for more details! ‪‪@mpi-inf.mpg.de‬

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 🤯

Given the volume & scale of new work coming out, noise is going to exist. Wouldn’t these “bad actors”/“weeds” be removed organically over time when their work isn’t built on / used further?

Also, how prevalent were such things before, potentially easier to pinpoint back then given a smaller scale?🤔

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.

For more detail see: arxiv.org/abs/2503.00641

🚀 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 ☕️

Max Losch successfully defends his PhD.

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!
