OpenReview? More like BrokenReview, amirite?

Gotta love how objectively insane it is that we even have to say this out loud.

Doing my first reviewer assignment as an editor, and I can officially confirm: we need fewer papers and more reviewers.

Happy to announce that I joined the crew of @tmlrorg.bsky.social as an action editor 📝 We need a publication model with the fast turnaround of ML conferences but no attendance requirement and less reviewer lottery. I believe TMLR is part of the solution, and if you do too, come review with us!

I’m recruiting a postdoctoral researcher on a fully funded 2-year contract. The topic is developing and implementing new parallel graph algorithms, with applications to data-driven transportation and logistics. Details and application procedure below ⬇️ Reach out if you have any questions!

I’m reasonably confident that this is the first Disney song cover about machine learning conferences. At least the first one so far. Don’t tempt me. #MLSky youtu.be/kWkgl9Mb2p4?...

JuliaCon Local Paris 2025 is a wrap! Thank you so much to all of our attendees and presenters, who made this conference a wonderful mix of software and science. Next step: watch out for the talk recordings on YouTube... and see you next year in Germany! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Periodic appreciation post for this gem of a review by Hannah Bast and coauthors. If you think you know how to compute shortest paths... trust me, you don't. I can give you one spoiler though: preprocessing the graph helps A LOT. doi.org/10.1007/978-...

Me this morning in front of a class: “So Euler wanted to cross all 7 bridges exactly once during his stroll…” An inquisitive high school student: “Was Euler smoking opium?”

The European open-source community is growing, and it's only the beginning! See you all in Paris 🥐

JuliaCon Local Paris starts tomorrow 🤩 Which part of our amazing program are you most excited about? #JuliaLang @juliacon.bsky.social @julialang.org

Can anyone recommend good substacks in the AI / ML / OR space? What are y’all reading?

Meet our second Platinum sponsor for the Paris event! CodeGlass helps software teams look inside their running #JuliaLang applications, with profiler and time-travel analysis tools. Wanna trace performance and memory back to the lines of code that really matter? Check them out 👀

After more years than I care to admit, I am pleased to announce that I finally know what the fuck Farkas' lemma was trying to tell me all along. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farkas%...

This is not OK. I don't submit often to NeurIPS, but I reviewed papers for this conference almost every year. As a reviewer, why would I spend time trying to give a fair opinion on papers if it's what happens in the end???

@neuripsconf.bsky.social decisions and stats are out. Definitely sad that a great initiative was set up but NOT what it should be: a third option to avoid 5000 authors burning kerosene crossing the world to present 8 pages

It may only be a band-aid, but we have just announced our new "Salon des Refusés" sessions for papers rejected due to space constraints: bsky.app/profile/euri...

Congratulations to everyone who got their @neuripsconf.bsky.social papers accepted 🎉🎉🎉 At #EurIPS we are looking forward to welcoming presentations of all accepted NeurIPS papers, including a new “Salon des Refusés” track for papers which were rejected due to space constraints!

Is this the year we finally break up @neuripsconf.bsky.social?

Very happy to see #JuliaLang percolating into European tech... especially in such a critical sector!

It's too late to sponsor this year's edition, but if your firm wants to sponsor the 2026 event in Mainz, do reach out!

Software enthusiasts of all fields and backgrounds, unite! Here's the exciting schedule we cooked up for #JuliaCon Local Paris 2025 (the one for #PyData is just as thrilling!). Get your tickets while you can, and see you in a month ⌛ @julialang.org @juliacon.bsky.social @pydataparis.bsky.social

Currently watching a performance of The Book of Mormon where the lead (Elder Price) looks like Emmanuel Macron. Not gonna lie, it works surprisingly well 🤷

Full schedule available for JuliaCon Local Paris 2025: pretalx.com/juliacon-loc... #JuliaLang folks, which talks are you most excited about? Anyone from the #PyData community planning to swing by? @juliacon.bsky.social @julialang.org @pydata.bsky.social

🚨 Breaking news 🚨 Two epic tutorials announced for #JuliaCon Local Paris 2025: one about Pluto notebooks and one about using JuMP for optimization. Be sure to get your tickets this week, otherwise the early bird pricing will be gone 🦜 @juliacon.bsky.social @julialang.org @pydataparis.bsky.social

Third keynote announced for #JuliaCon Local Paris 2025! Ivet Galabova will tell us about the #HiGHS linear programming solver, and how it combines excellence with open source. Early bird deadline extended to Aug 31st, book your spot before they run out! And check out @pydataparis.bsky.social too!

Second keynote announcement for JuliaCon Local Paris 2025: Tim Besard will uncover the secrets of vendor-agnostic GPU programming in Julia 🤯 Don't forget to get your early bird tickets before the end of next week (see the @juliacon.bsky.social website), and to swing by @pydataparis.bsky.social too!

Want more open-source software and scientific computing in your life? Get your ticket for JuliaCon Local Paris 2025 before the end of the early bird pricing! We have an impressive lineup of keynotes, starting with Professor Laura Grigori (EPFL) and not stopping there! juliacon.org/local/paris2...

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?

That would be awesome! FYI The rule was different two months ago, requiring only virtual attendance, and it was changed during the reviewing period. web.archive.org/web/20250514...

Interested in large-scale GPU optimization? Interested in how modern neural networks are being deployed to solve classical optimization problems? Writing a paper on these topics? Submit to the ScaleOPT workshop at NeurIPS! www.cvxgrp.org/scaleopt/#su...

The unsustainability of long distance flights to conferences is a valid concern. Clearly, meeting international experts is important for high-level research, but dynamic regional events to supplement huge monolithic conferences might even make that easier. We need more experiments like EurIPS asap.

Awesome initiative 🎉 This leaves me wondering though: how come authors attending #EurIPS still have to register for the main #NeurIPS (in the Americas) for their paper to be considered accepted? You stopped so short of actually allowing ML researchers to fly less!

🌍 Would be better if authors were allowed to present at officially endorsed hubs or online instead — ensuring fair and equitable participation, and ultimately creating a better NeurIPS for everyone. Interesting in knowing more: read our full opinion piece ⬇️. docs.google.com/document/d/1... 4/4

🚨 At the same time, NeurIPS now requires at least one author to register in person to the main conference. Virtual registration was enough before. ✈️ Many can’t travel to San Diego/Mexico due to limited funding, disabilities, caregiving responsibilities, visa restrictions, or climate concerns. 3/4

🇪🇺EurIPS features NeurIPS papers, keynotes, and workshops (consider submitting a workshop!) in Copenhagen during NeurIPS. 🙏 Huge thanks to @neuripsconf.bsky.social & @ellis.eu for making this possible. EurIPS will boost scientific exchange while cutting travel barriers and carbon emissions. 2/4

✨Thrilled to see EurIPS launch — the first officially endorsed European NeurIPS presentation venue! 👀 But NeurIPS now requires at least one author to attend in San Diego or Mexico (and not just virtually as before). This is detrimental to many. Why not allow presenting at EurIPS or online? 1/4

Exciting development for Europe! However I am still puzzled about "Note that accepted authors should still plan to present their papers at NeurIPS, with an additional presentation at EurIPS if desired". How can we be at both places at once?

EurIPS + ELLIS UnConference is coming to Copenhagen! 🇩🇰

There are days when math feels scary and confusing. There are other days when it brings order and peace to a grateful universe.

Good read. My fav: "If I could distill my scientific life into five words, they would read: “I regret to inform you”"... www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Just discovered an awesome paper on inserting linear programs into neural networks: arxiv.org/abs/2505.22224 Most existing methods require solver calls during traning, which is very expensive. This work introduces a new (differentiable, convex) loss which bypasses the solver using geometry!
