My 2nd and 3rd author are feeling left out after all of the popular press articles only mentioned me, so I'm going to let one (or both, if that's OK for the ICLR format) of them do the presentation.

Guillaume - Monty Hall problem: you say not to switch doors?  Or it doesn't matter?

If you're looking for someone to present something after Medhi, I can make a short presentation about something random that I find interesting.

I've got some ideas :
    - entropy and Battleship (not the movie)
    - bloom filters (the answer to every possible job interview question when the answer is not "just use hash maps")
    - bitcoins crash course (what's cool about the adversarial consensus achieved by the computer algorithm)
    - Monty Hall problem (why I think that the commonly accepted solution is wrong (or useless))

Hi guys, 

First of all, those with accepted papers at ICLR. 

I know I and Ian have an oral. Does anybody else got his paper accepted as an oral. If so and you want to do a practice talk let me know to reserve a spot. Ian, do you think you need a practice talk? 

Otherwise, those with posters, if you think having a tea talk will help you talk about the poster, or if you want to present your work, let me know so that I can schedule you. 

For now we have: 
  next week (19th) is me + Yann talking about non-convex optimizations and saddle points
  26th we have Mehdi talking about his paper at ICLR (catastrophic forgetting). 
  2nd of April I scheduled myself to do a practice talk for my oral (natural gradient)

Mehdi said his talk is going to be short, so he would not mind if someone else wants to slit that time slot with him. Anybody wants to do that ? 

If no one with ICLR paper wants to present their work, is there someone else who wants to present either: 

 (a) an idea they are working on
 (b) some submitted work somewhere (or just tech report)
 (c) some very interesting paper they read recently 
 (d) just introduce themselves to the lab talking of what they've done before coming here


Thanks a lot,
Best,
Razvan
