Best Student Paper Award at the European Conference on Machine Learning 2018

At the welcome reception during the first night of the conference, our paper was announced the Best Student Paper Award Winner at the European Conference on Machine Learning 2018! My talk was originally scheduled two days later for 20 minutes.

It teaches me that the audience and their frame of mind is always the most critical to the success and effectiveness of a presentation.
