present our accepted paper at ICML 2022. For the occasional conversations about the struggles (and upsides) of PhD life, and for the peer support while writing our theses. My gratitude goes to all the support staff who make working at the university possible and pleasant. To the various secretaries in our cluster throughout my PhD years: Riet, Ine, José, and Mariela, for keeping our cluster organised and running, providing practical support whenever needed, and bringing an outside perspective to a floor full of computer scientists and mathematicians. To all the other support staff who keep the university running. I want to thank all the wonderful colleagues in our cluster, for many insightful or simply fun conversations, lunch and coffee breaks, social events, and quick encounters, making MetaForum floor 7 a very pleasant and multicultural work environment. Thanks to my various office mates throughout the years: Xin, Shiwei, Marijn, Yuhao, Simon K., Yoeri, Koen, and Marko, for a nice shared workplace with space for focused work as well as quick questions and occasionally longer interesting discussions. Thanks Wouter, for many fun poker nights, for encouraging shared lunches with colleagues, for proving that a bowling ball is an acceptable accessory when going to the cinema, for the invitation to volunteer at IDA 2018 and UAI 2022, and thanks Wouter and Sibylle for inviting the entire group to your lovely beach wedding in Scheveningen. Thanks to the smartest pub quiz team of the department of Mathematics and Computer Science: Shiwei, Marijn, Xin, Simon v.d. Z., and Hamid, although we won twice and never got a prize, the honour stays with us forever. Thanks Alvaro, David, and Gennaro, for supporting our respective countries’ football teams while enjoying top quality burgers and talking about all things PhD and otherwise. Thanks Mitchel, for ordering numerous Friday lunches, nourishing us through the last day of the week. Thanks Prabhant, for instigating many needed (and unneeded) social coffee breaks with your quality coffee service, and thanks Sibylle for taking over whenever necessary. Thanks to all other colleagues who made life at the university more enjoyable and interesting, listed alphabetically but excluding all those I forgot to mention (for which my apologies): Afrizal, Anil, Bilge, Bram, Danil, Daphne, Decebal, Erik, George, Ghada, Hilde, Israel, Jan, Jianpeng, Juan Antonio, Kaiji, Larissa, Lu, Maryam, Nikolay, Odysseas, Pieter, Pratik, Robert, Ricky, Rianne, Tianjin, Tim, Tita, Thomas, Tristan, Stiven, Wilco, Yulong, Zeno. I also want to thank all my friends outside the university, for endowing me with an enriching social life, reminding me that there is much more to life than my PhD. Thanks to one of my oldest groups of friends, collectively referred to (by nobody) as the “Jillz” group, I’m glad that we still meet up even though we all live in different places now: Toon, Sammy, Jos, Tristan, Roel, Zoë, Tjeu, Gio, and
