i just finished a big batch of reviews so here are some thoughts on "review forms" in the style of the one and only @dasharez0ne.bsky.social

i’ve said this before but lemme say it again. it makes absolutely 0 sense to talk about “misuse” of llms because there is no clear use or purpose for llms to begin with. genAI is a purposeless tech floating around looking for uptake

i'm looking forward to attending & contributing to the first ever EurIPS meeting (@euripsconf.bsky.social #EurIPS)! glad that i can learn about the most exciting ML research without having to travel to the US to attend a 15k+ person conference.
some personal highlights of the program below.

How can AI learn not just from data — but through interaction and intervention?
Join us for the Interactive Learning & Interventional Representations, part of the ELLIS UnConference (in Copenhagen 🇩🇰 on Dec 2), co-located with #EurIPS.

Lol, we need the "AI" that is killing the environment and guzzling untold amounts of resources to save the environment. This is 1984 type of marketing, like "ministry of peace" that is actually the war department.

dear reviewers, of course that "no pdf" rebuttal policy is not going to stop me from running all those wonderful new baselines you just suggested, please find the results below

I love the #eurips initiative! But to live up to its potential, it should be accepted an official #neurips conference location (similar to Mexico City) and not just an addon! Then we would save C02, rather than adding to it!!! What can we do to achieve this?
EurIPS is coming! 📣 Mark your calendar for Dec. 2-7, 2025 in Copenhagen 📅
EurIPS is a community-organized conference where you can present accepted NeurIPS 2025 papers, endorsed by @neuripsconf.bsky.social and @nordicair.bsky.social and is co-developed by @ellis.eu

for the first time since forever, today i felt like a "normal" person should feel like on a friday afternoon. chilled out, not worried about deadlines, todo lists, inbox etc.
all it took was staying up until 5am last night to finish a grant proposal 😂😂

new preprint with the amazing @lviano.bsky.social and @neu-rips.bsky.social on offline imitation learning! learned a lot :)
when the expert is hard to represent but the environment is simple, estimating a Q-value rather than the expert directly may be beneficial. lots of open questions left though!

new work on computing distances between stochastic processes ***based on sample paths only***! we can now:
- learn distances between Markov chains
- extract "encoder-decoder" pairs for representation learning
- with sample- and computational-complexity guarantees
read on for some quick details..
