I am always more fascinated by the authors of a paper than by its topic. Yes, I don’t waste time reading BS from random researchers.

I will never forget her elegant book on number theory, co-authored w/ Roya Beheshti. As I was preparing for the Math Olympiad, that book became a source of deep inspiration. It wasn't just the mathematics—it was the clarity of thought. That experience sparked in me a lasting passion for mathematics.
Today, we celebrate International Women in Mathematics Day in memory of Maryam Mirzakhani, the first woman to win the Fields Medal (2014), to honor the contributions and achievements in women in mathematics in hopes to inspire future generations.

Here's a very simple calculation showing that adding a bit of randomization can make numerical integration better even in the one-dimensional setting.

Our method, Perfect Erasure Functions (PEF), erases concepts perfectly from LLM representations. We analytically derive PEF w/o parameter estimation. PEFs achieve pareto optimal erasure-utility tradeoff backed w/ theoretical guarantees. #AISTATS2025 🧵

Great interview in which Ewin Tang describes how she shook the quantum world at age 18.
So far, classical computers perform most tasks better than quantum computers can. In a new episode of “The Joy of Why,” computer scientist Ewan Tang speaks with co-host Janna Levin about the effort to understand the limitations of quantum machines. www.quantamagazine.org/what-is-the-...

Despite the hype, it’s been surprisingly challenging to find quantum algorithms that outperform classical ones. In this episode, Ewin Tang discusses her pioneering work in “dequantizing” quantum algor...
