Oded Goldreich: Role Model in Theoretical Computer Science Research
By
–
Oded Goldreich is a role model. Beyond being a brilliant researcher, he's an eloquent & thoughtful writer, and admirably zen in escaping the cycle of validation. Sharing his essay on top theory confs, highlighting a quote. From 2009, but still hits home. https://

I also noticed that #ICLR2023 had surprisingly few sponsors? Do you know anything about the reasons why? Is it the location? The tech industry downturn? The perception that ICLR may be the most "skippable" (versus NeurIPS and ICML)?
