El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is an atmospheric phenomenon, located in the tropical Pacific, that greatly affects ecosystems as well as human well-being on a large portion of the globe. We use the convLSTM introduced in a…

Geometric deep learning is a “program” that aspires to situate deep learning architectures and techniques in a framework of mathematical priors. The priors, such as various types of invariance, first arise in some physical domain. A…

In forecasting spatially-determined phenomena (the weather, say, or the next frame in a movie), we want to model temporal evolution, ideally using recurrence relations. At the same time, we’d like to efficiently extract spatial features, something…

Often, AI researchers and engineers think of themselves as neutral and “objective”, operating in a framework of strict formalization. Fairness and absence of bias, however, are social constructs; there is no objectivity, no LaTeX-typesettable remedies, no…

We live in a world of ever-diminishing privacy and ever-increasing surveillance - and this is a statement not just about openly-authoritarian regimes. Yet, we seem not to care that much, at least not until, for whatever…
