@Drub When I came back from teaching Math and Science in Kenya, I went to grad school at Columbia. I had no money. I called a tab on the LGBTQ cork board at the community center on Christopher St. I ended up rooming with Wally and Squeeky at 183 Christopher. Wally and Squeeky ran the #MineShaft before NYC closed it down because of AIDS. Before that I BBQed with #ChuckRenslow #IML in Chicago. I've met Rex he used to do the flyers for Wally. Met Freddie at Wallys too. https://youtu.be/HgzGwKwLmgM?feature=shared

About time for a proper #introduction : I’m a musician and researcher in musical interactions, post-digital instrument design, networked music performance, and interactive machine learning. I designed an instrument called the Sophtar (see video) and I am currently at the Intelligent Instrument Lab in Iceland https://youtu.be/Ee8vI8oFm9o?feature=shared #academia #academicchatter #nime #dmi #iml #ml

Four days, four IMLs, twenty two students and teachers and an epic journey around the Tour des Dents du Midi. The young folk have battled rain, and knee deep mud as well as scorchio sunshine. They have done an amazing job of tiptoeing along balcony paths, sleeping in teeny alpine refuges, and basking in glorious alpine meadows.

Feeling fresh & ready for #IML!

The problem I am working on and talking to people about these days.

Alpine meadows anyone?

A couple of pics from the last couple of days in Switzerland.

It's amazing to be back in the Alps again after a long absence (thanks Covid and Brexit ). I'm working out in Switzerland this month and will be enjoying plenty of views like this!

My new article in @towardsdatascience

IML can increase/improve:
- Accuracy
- Performance in production
- Trust
- The reach of ML
- Storytelling
- Knowledge

Have you ever used SHAP with image data?

In this #Python tutorial, we explore how to:
- Fine-tune ResNet-18 using #PyTorch
- Evaluate the model using MSE and scatter plots
- Interpret the model using #DeepSHAP
- Correct the model through better data collection
- Discuss further improvements using image augmentation

Hi all

I'm doing a #PhD in #RemoteSensing and #MachineLearning. Will be using #DeepLearning and #Satellite Images to monitor the Irish coastline

I am also an avid blogger! I write for #TowardsDataScience with a focus on #XAI #IML #AlgorithmFairness and #DataScience in general

My non-nerd hobbies are #surfing #bouldering #hiking #cycling and watering my #houseplants

Hoping this site works out! Looking forward to connecting with some interesting individuals
