I thoroughly enjoyed my keynote on "AI for social good and public health" as well as engaging audience interaction at the SMASH symposium at MILA Montreal. Great concept to create this wonderful interdisciplinary symposium.

Really fortunate to be hooding my 40th PhD student, Sanket Shah, at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences in person yesterday. This year, the ceremony felt even more special.
Looking forward to Sanket's exciting future research contributions.

Should LLMs be used to review papers? AAAI is piloting LLM-generated reviews this year. I wrote a blog post arguing that using LLMs as reviewers can have bad downstream consequences for science by centralizing judgments about what constitutes good research.

Can we use RL to plan with combinatorial constraints?
Our #ICLR2025 paper combines deep RL with mathematical programming to do so! We embed a trained Q-network into a mixed-integer program, into which we can specify NP-hard constraints.
