It will be the first time that I don’t have to fly to NeurIPS. How exciting!

Today NeurIPS is announcing our official satellite event in Paris. After responding to the call from Ellis following the success of EurIPS in December, we are pleased to reach a new milestone by joining forces with the NeurIPS organizing committee for the 2026 edition.

Only 10 days left to submit your work to ProbML (formerly AABI)! 👉 probml.cc/call/

Like many Europeans, I am troubled by the recent wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. And I am shocked by the narratives pushed by the US. From what I read, the US is pushing for a “new” world order, which really should be called the old world order.

The Guardian on our new study, which shows that global heating is significantly gathering speed. Our efforts to overcome our fossil fuel addiction should do the same. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Guter Bericht der Tagesschau zu unserer neuen Studie, gemeinsam mit dem US-Statistiker Grant Foster. Die Messdaten belegen: die Erderwärmung hat sich sogar beschleunigt. Jede Verzögerung beim Ausstieg aus fossiler Energienutzung halte ich für unverantwortlich. www.tagesschau.de/wissen/klima...

Sparked by a humorous comment here, I wonder how people self-cite? I have seen people citing almost every paper they publish, people asking to be cited because of group affiliation, and people who self-cite fairly little, incl. myself. What’s your approach and why?

If you are interested working with me as a postdoc on probabilistic machine learning, please consider reaching out and applying for the postdoc call by digital futures (link below). 🔗 www.digitalfutures.kth.se/call/up-to-t...

"He is from [MASK] [MASK]" → "San York"? dLLMs fail because they ignore token dependencies. This Factorization Barrier arises from a structural misspecification: models are restricted to fully factorized outputs. We break this barrier with CoDD, enabling coherent parallel generation. 🚀

Are you a grad student interested in computational #astrophysics? Check out our upcoming #FlatironCCA Pre-Doctoral Program — applications are due March 13, 2026. https://www.simonsfoundation.org/2023-flatiron-institute-center-for-computational-astrophysics-pre-doctoral-programhow-to-apply/ #science

If you missed the @auai.org deadline but have some awesome work you wanna share with the world, #ProbML submissions deadline is just around the corner! And it’s in Seoul 🇰🇷, meaning good food is guaranteed.

In light of the current funding situation (worldwide), a modest proposal: instead of pouring billions of dollars into GenAI claiming "it *could* accelerate science and research," consider putting 1% of that amount in what *will* accelerate science and research. Namely, funding science and research.

We are looking for Postdoctoral Fellows to join the Helsinki region IT research community.The deadline for applications is March 22nd, 2026 at 11:59 PM (23:59 UTC+02:00) More info in the 🔗 www.hiit.fi/hiit-postdoc... #EarlyCareerResearcher #AcademicSky #postdocposition

The #ECCV2026 paper registration deadline is THIS WEEK! NO registration by the deadline → NO submission. NO exceptions. Deadline details are available on the webpage. Deadlines: eccv.ecva.net/Conferences/...

Two days to StanCon 202 oral presentation abstract submission deadline!!!

A list of robot benchmarks and datasets and some notes on them! A quick blog post to give some color to my last few posts on how robot policy evaluation is done Benchmarking robotics is an interesting topic with still no good answers. open.substack.com/pub/itcanthi...

I think composable models are the future, and it would be great to have more tools for building composable models. This is a nice talk about the benefits

🚨 Just over a week to go! Submissions close on February 25. ✨ There's still time to submit: but don't miss it! 👉 auai.org/uai2026/call...

If anyone ever tries to recruit me to move to London, they can wine and dine and try to impress me, or they can just take me to my favorite bookstore, Foyles, and remind me that these two stacks are next to each other.

Erinnerungspolitische Bezüge in Rubios Rede werden mit Gaulands "Vogelschiss" verglichen. Doch Rubio geht weiter: Europa liegt bei ihm völlig unvermittelt "in ruins", der NS spielt in seiner Geschichtspolitik nicht mal mehr eine Vogelschiss-Rolle, er bleibt ganz außen vor. "For five centuries, 1/5

Guidelines on "Generative AI Considerations" have been clarified accordingly here: icml.cc/Conferences/.... If you have further questions, don't hesitate to reach out to the program chairs at [email protected]. And happy Valentine's Day from ICML! ❤️ 4/4

There has been some online discussion of prompt watermarks in ICML submissions. tl;dr: - Yes, this is one of the *conference*'s (several) scientific integrity measures - Yes, it's not infalliable (but it still helps) - No, your paper won't be desk rejected as a result 1/4

I am a bit late to the party, but I am happy to share that our latest work was accepted to #ICLR2026 🥳🥳 📜 How to Square Tensor Networks and Circuits Without Squaring Them arxiv.org/abs/2512.17090

🤯🤯🤯 Full-on denial of reality. State capture by the fossil fuel lobby. The US descends into a banana republic. It would almost be funny if the consequences wouldn’t be so dire for billions of humans, if the courts don’t stop this folly soon. www.scientificamerican.com/article/epa-...

Probably the best event on probabilistic ML I know 🔥🔥🔥 Highly recommended, especially if you cannot make the UAI deadline (we have a proceedings track published in PMLR!) or are already planning to attend ICML (for example, via the fast track to present an already published paper).

Submit your work on Probabilistic Machine Learning to @probml.bsky.social and come join us in Seoul (co-located with ICML) this year!

++ Major News ++ AABI is now ProbML: the Symposium on Probabilistic Machine Learning! Very excited about this! ProbML will be co-located with ICML in Seoul! Check out our new website: probml.cc!

We introduce BayesVLM, a training-free post-hoc Bayesian method for uncertainty estimation in pretrained VLMs. BayesVLM yields interpretable, well-calibrated uncertainty with virtually no inference overhead.

Need a crash course on the fundamental concepts and algorithms of machine learning? Consider visiting Genoa 🇮🇹 this summer for the MaLGa Machine Learning Crash Course! Suitable for undergrad/grad students, as well as professionals. 📅 June 15-19 📍 MaLGa Center, Genova 🇮🇹 🔗 https://bit.ly/4rddwRq

I’m excited that MIT News covered our new paper on robustness of popular LLM rankings! We find that dropping just 2 out of 57,477 matches can change the top-ranked model on Chatbot Arena (based on historical preference data shared by Chatbot Arena on Hugging Face). news.mit.edu/2026/study-p...

Nice!

Now that we achieved AGI, does that mean we can get back to working on actual problems?

People have been using birds to send messages for centuries. Given what, say, salmons and eels are able to do, I wonder why nobody has thought of using fish... Is this because they are unreliable as messengers? That seems like an easy problem to solve! Just use error-correcting cod

Good thread. Also, one of the most brilliant tech things I've seen in a while is www.jmail.world

I'm commenting that number on slack with @nicolasdufour.bsky.social and I just realized that if you add the 16k active submissions at CVPR, even considering a sizeable overlap between the 2, there are currently well over 30k active papers in review. That's nuts

I have been involved in two amazing projects, both accepted at ICLR: arxiv.org/abs/2505.17517 arxiv.org/abs/2502.12981 A true privilege to collaborate with such brilliant and kind coauthors. ❤️ We are also organizing an ICLR workshop on geometry. Consider submitting 🥰 gram-workshop.github.io

3 more days until the submission deadline for our AI for Peace workshop @ ICLR 2026. Check the details at the link below. Looking forward to receiving your submissions! Let’s make it together a great workshop and a place for meaningful discussion on this rarely touched but very important topic!

This has now been accepted at @iclr-conf.bsky.social !
