Uni Stuttgart IRIS<p>IRIS Insights I Nico Formanek: Are hyperparameters vibes?<br>April 24, 2025, 2:00 p.m. (CEST)<br>Our second IRIS Insights talk will take place with Nico Formanek.<br>🟦 <br>This talk will discuss the role of hyperparameters in optimization methods for model selection (currently often called ML) from a philosophy of science point of view. Special consideration is given to the question of whether there can be principled ways to fix hyperparameters in a maximally agnostic setting.<br>🟦 <br>This is a WebEx talk to which everyone who is interested is cordially invited. It will take place in English. Our IRIS speaker, Jun.-Prof. Dr. Maria Wirzberger, will moderate it. Following Nico Formanek's presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. We look forward to active participation.<br>🟦 <br>Please join this Webex talk using the following link:<br><a href="https://lnkd.in/eJNiUQKV" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">lnkd.in/eJNiUQKV</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br>🟦 <br><a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/Hyperparameters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hyperparameters</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/ModelSelection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ModelSelection</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/Optimization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Optimization</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/MLMethods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MLMethods</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/PhilosophyOfScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PhilosophyOfScience</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/ScientificMethod" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScientificMethod</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/AgnosticLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AgnosticLearning</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/MachineLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MachineLearning</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/InterdisciplinaryResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InterdisciplinaryResearch</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/AIandPhilosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AIandPhilosophy</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/EthicsInAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EthicsInAI</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/ResponsibleAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ResponsibleAI</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/AITheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AITheory</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/WebTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WebTalk</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/OnlineLecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnlineLecture</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/ResearchTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ResearchTalk</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/ScienceEvents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScienceEvents</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/OpenInvitation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenInvitation</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/AICommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AICommunity</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/LinkedInScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinkedInScience</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/TechPhilosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechPhilosophy</span></a> <a href="https://xn--baw-joa.social/tags/AIConversations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AIConversations</span></a></p>

Ricardo<p>"Save the humans?" — That’s what I saw on a graffiti in SF yesterday, depicting a robot with a powerful message. In this era of rapid AI and tech advancements, it’s a striking reminder: Are we approaching a future where machines not only coexist with us but may even champion our cause?

Henry Fisher<p>People often ask me when <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://dindon.one/@mastogram" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>mastogram</span></a></span> will become OpenSource. And when they hear my answer — "never" — their reactions are always amusing. First comes the inevitable "why?", followed by, sometimes, outright indignation: "That's not right!" I usually finish them off with a "joke" about introducing premium features.</p><p>The funniest part is that those advocating for open-source are almost always software developers — the very same people who go to work and get paid a nice salary for their efforts. And every time, a loud question pops into my head: why on earth should I write my code for free or stand around with a crypto-wallet in hand, begging for spare change?</p><p>It’s easy to play the office Che Guevara when your paycheck is guaranteed! To those “revolutionaries,” I have just one suggestion: quit your job and test your commitment to pure, unadulterated altruism. No hypocrisy allowed.</p><p><a href="https://dindon.one/tags/OpenSourceDebate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSourceDebate</span></a><br><a href="https://dindon.one/tags/SoftwareDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareDevelopment</span></a><br><a href="https://dindon.one/tags/DevLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DevLife</span></a><br><a href="https://dindon.one/tags/CodeEthics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CodeEthics</span></a><br><a href="https://dindon.one/tags/PremiumFeatures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PremiumFeatures</span></a><br><a href="https://dindon.one/tags/AltruismVsReality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AltruismVsReality</span></a><br><a href="https://dindon.one/tags/TechPhilosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechPhilosophy</span></a><br><a href="https://dindon.one/tags/DevHumor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DevHumor</span></a><br><a href="https://dindon.one/tags/WorkAndWorth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorkAndWorth</span></a><br><a href="https://dindon.one/tags/OfficeCheGuevara" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OfficeCheGuevara</span></a><br><a href="https://dindon.one/tags/notg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>notg</span></a></p>
