@acollierastro.bsky.social is the coolest person on the internet and I am envious of everyone who knows her personally

I guess this calls for an adequate celebration.

Attending my forst tutorial of this year's UAI IN Rio. Fun fact about Rio. It's the only city outside of Europe that was the capital of a European countr at some point.

Hot take: neural networks are the epicycles of the 21st century.

Ever changing from physics to AI and studying probabilistic ML, I have been wondering, how does all of this relate to quantum information theory 🎲.

I believe I've gotten a whole lot closer to the answer.

I'll be presenting the work at this year's @auai.org in Rio 😎

We developed a library to make logical reasoning embarrasingly parallel on the GPU.

For those at ICLR 🇸🇬: you can get the juicy details tomorrow (poster #414 at 15:00). Hope to see you there!

What is reasoning and have LLMs learned it?

We answer these two questions in our new pre-print using the phase transition in random 3-SAT.

Together with @rishihazra95.bsky.social, @gabventurato.bsky.social and @lucderaedt.bsky.social

Here is also a longer thread:

For years I have been studyibg the top researchers in AI. They all share one personal trait:
attention to DETIAL.

I miss the times when all we cared about was end-to-end differentiability. Now all there seems to be is world domination this, world domination that.

Dieses Paradox schreit nach einem Namen.

I think deepseek is amazing and I kind of like it... Buuuut... 🙃

(Saw something like this in someone else's post but can't find it back)

Probability densities are like the sun. Look at them directly and they will blind you 😎

Is it still okay to justify gaps in my CV with the pandemic? Asking for a friend.

Are you interested in more scalable reasoning under uncertainty and attending NeurIPS? Then pass by our poster #3708 later today at 4.30pm! 🕟

We use recursive integer arithmetic to express combinatorial problems and add uncertainty. Inference can be massively accelerated with tensors and the FFT. 🚀

Recently I came across two papers that characterize modern machine learning as pseudoscience... They are probably right.

This place kind of feels sane🦋💙
