Is your company interested in reaching Europe's leading AI researchers?
If so, don't worry! There are still plenty of opportunity to support #EurIPS as a sponsor. Sponsorship packages are available and can be further customized if necessary.

A curious @neuripsconf.bsky.social experience: review obviously LLM-generated (but with positive score), we report this to the AC. AC tells us to engage nevertheless (?) and is also poking the reviewer. The discussion just becoming more and more obscure...

Absolutely. We would have #EurIPS now in Copenhagen, but, presentation there is just optional. Each paper must still be presented live in San Diego. This whole @neuripsconf.bsky.social ethical correctness yada yada is merely a fig leaf.
The world is a beautiful and fragile place that we are allowed to enjoy temporarily and should feel responsible for.
It’s regrettable that we (the ML community) don’t manage to have decentralised conferences across the globe (look at you, @neuripsconf.bsky.social).
Let's be better together!

Hot take (as AC and author): the whole #NeurIPS review process, as is, would not become substantially worse if we just left away the whole rebuttal and discussion phase.

Hey Prof, not sure whether I passed the exam today, since I didn't bother studying for the subject you are teaching (lol). Anyway, I realize now that I'm in trouble and really need a positive grade very soon. Can you do some extra arrangements for your favourite out of 640 students??

Have you thought that in computer memory model weights are given in terms of discrete values in any case. Thus, why not do probabilistic inference on the discrete (quantized) parameters. @trappmartin.bsky.social is presenting our work at #AABI2025 today. [1/3]

![\begin{theorem}
For all $c>1$, \[\frac{1}{2\pi} \int_{-\pi}^{\pi} \frac{1}{c+\sin(\theta)} \mathrm{d} \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{c^2-1}}.\]
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
Clearly
\[\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}\theta} \left[ \frac{2}{\sqrt{c^2-1}} \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1 + c \tan (\theta/2)}{\sqrt{c^2-1}}\right) \right] = \frac{1}{c+\sin(\theta)}.\]
The result now follows from the fundamental theorem of calculus.
