1/ Cette fois c'est sûr, la guerre à grande échelle est lancée au Liban. On peut hélas déjà anticiper des milliers de morts libanais et peut-être des centaines israéliens.

Exciting keynote by @irinarish at #AutoML 2024! An important call to arms: onwards to develop hyperparameter optimization to improve foundation models at scale. We’re on it, please get in touch if you’d like to work on this 😊 @automl_conf

New Paper Alert 🚨

Can we enhance adversarial robustness in VLMs without training through better design choices or prompt engineering?
TLDR: We present surprisingly effective & inexpensive ways to improve VLM robustness.
Dive in!🧵

You know @elonmusk, I really feel sorry for you and your family to have been infected by a mind virus.
But the best defense against a mind virus is intelligence, knowledge, and science.
Fighting a mind virus by promoting other mental pathogens, like Trumpism, conspiracy theories, and attacks on science and the media, is not a good idea.
This is like trying to cure diabetes by spreading ebola: it will certainly stop your diabetes, but not without killing you.
The cure against mind viruses is the expansion knowledge through science, and the dissemination of reliable information.
Disinformation causes mind viruses to spread.
Distrust in decent media outlets causes mind viruses to spread.
Distrust in science and scientists cause mind viruses to spread.
The political movements you are currently supporting are squarely on the wrong side of history here.

Shame on the @Olympics for letting a child rapist compete in Paris this year. Dutch volleyball player Steven van de Velde traveled to meet up with a 12 year old when he was 19 YEARS OLD. He gave her alcohol and then proceeded to rape her.

Le Canada doit appuyer le droit international. Face à la décision de la Cour internationale de justice, Ottawa devrait reconnaître l’Etat palestinien et cesser la fourniture d’armes à Israël.
