Great paper! If you are free sometime, let me know. I would love to chat!

This sounds like a nightmare scenario. Maybe escalating the matter up the editorial chain would help.

1. What about escalating the matter to higher ups at TMLR?

2. At all three conferences did the metareview go against the majority review sentiment? That's an outlier in itself!

This is joint work with @yash-saxena.bsky.social and @tharrma.bsky.social.

Both of them did 99.99% of the heavy lifting on the paper😂 and are on the lookout for opportunities! (PhD and job resp.).

In the Bsky tradition, enjoy this meme!

P.S. Comments on the work welcome!

I know for sure that similarly flavoured papers were not accepted for poster presentations at earlier editions of QIP. The very presence of this paper at TQC (!!) sends a very concerning signal to newcomers imo.

I opened the paper to figure out exactly what they were sweeping under the rug. Hoo boy!

"We prove here that NP⊆BQP, by presenting a BQP-algorithm for the NP-complete variant of the SUBSET − SUM problem, without any restriction or approximation or assumption."

I suspected this was the case especially after a post titled "Time is running out!" xD

"* bias"..... Learning theory is doomed.

Why did I not fight back?

Short answer: My collaborator's PhD would be jeopardized.

Great work! Congrats @aangrisani.bsky.social

This is a special paper for me:
- It is my 1st purely classical (and classical learning) result,
- It is my 2nd consecutive (and overall) AISTATS publication, and
- It is the 3rd (and final) published result in my thesis.

I look forward to meeting up with others in Phuket!

See arXiv:2405.13666 for an earlier draft (updated version coming soon).

A concurrent work (arXiv:2406.12600) by @neu-rips.bsky.social was recently accepted at ALT 2025, and addresses the same question!

The two papers use very different techniques to arrive at the same result! (2/3)

If your concern is wrt jobs, I believe that the jobs that can be automated should very well be.

From my time as an SWE, I observed that most companies bloat their payroll with underpaid employees so that they can overcharge clients.

If you are concerned about other stuff, I would love to hear it.
