Summer School
Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning Summer School

At this summer school hosted by CIFAR and AMII I extended further my knowledge in AI especiallyinteresting for me was the reinforcement learning part which connects well with my previous education in control engineering and robotics. I had an opportunity to listen and meet researchers both from industry and academia e.g. from DeepMind, Borealis, AMII, CIFAR, Vector Institute and of course MILA. Networking with other students from around the world was an important part of the summer school and I made a lots of meaningful research connections.

Visualization is Not Enough - EuroVis 2019 Novice Perspective

Few months ago I had a pleasure to attend EuroVis conference as my paper on work that we did at MILA got accepted for the MLVis workshop colocated with the conference. Interdisciplinary interactions are the most interesting for me and for someone who comes from machine learning background and is interested in interpretability - visualization perspective sounded very tempting.

Looking back at the eXplainable Artificial Intelligence

Among photos of the black hole, editing genes, quantum computers outperforming classical machines, and the ongoing debate on climate change... the past year brought a well-deserved recognition of deep...

Template for managing long documents in LaTeX

This is a template for managing long documents in LaTeX. It combines goodies from few different libraries to support writing long documents. It was developed for the purposes of writing a thesis. It includes example split of files, glossary, watermark, line numbers, appendices, references with BibTeX, custom command and example sections.
