I mean, it did start with a rather illuminati-cult like logo.

Swimming in foggy water with friends, what else could one wish for. 🤩

Considering how “warm” I feel now, this was probably the last swim of the year. But what a beautiful swim. 🤩

Moreover, #BitVI can help identify the numerical precision required to represent a target density, a crucial task in the quantisation of neural networks and when working with low-precision regimes.

In #BitVI, we exploit the fixed-point representations of numbers and a tractable variational approximation based on #circuits. Thus, enabling efficient ELBO computation and control of the numerical precision. Additionally, BitVI is easily extendable to other number systems, such as floating-point.

Remember that computers use bitstrings to represent numbers? We exploit this in our recent @auai.org paper and introduce #BitVI.

#BitVI directly learns an approximation in the space of bitstring representations, thus, capturing complex distributions under varying numerical precision regimes.

Big tech made it possible to finally have one of the most important problems of mankind solved.

I give you… ChickenZilla!!!!

We had a pretty dystopian atmosphere one evening in Jakarta with heavy rain. So I made it look even more dystopian. 😅

Crazy evening sky today in Helsinki.

Feel in meme mode today. 😅

I’m looking for some awesome machines learning or Bayesian stats #memes! Any suggestions?

Instead of increasing the inference (prediction) cost by a factor of ~5 - 70 x (depending on the method), you can now make predictions with almost no additional overhead.

Because we effectively turn the NN into a multilinear function, we can also assess the model's sensitivity to input perturbations. For example, we can estimate sensitivity maps by learning Gaussian input densities for the covariates and visualise their input sensitivity information.

We develop a deterministic propagation path for various NN architecture choices and covariance structures of the approximate posterior. This allows us to make efficient & sampling-free predictions in Bayesian #LLMs and #ViT models.
March 19, 2025 at 9:32 AM
We ask how we can have a fast and practical approximation of the posterior predictive distribution in BNNs.

Our "Streamlining" approach achieves this by approximating the posterior predictive with little computational overhead through local linearisations and local Gaussian approximations.

Are you going to be at #WACV and want to know if “Flatness Improves Backbone Generalisation in Few-shot Classification”?

Then join the oral presentation by @ruili-pml.bsky.social of our paper!

So much new snow tonight in Helsinki. Amazing 🤩

What a beautiful day today. ☀️

I’m so excited to test the old telescope that we found in the back of the garage. Night sky awaits.
