📣 Please share: We invite submissions to the 29th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Statistics (#AISTATS 2026) and welcome paper submissions at the intersection of AI, machine learning, statistics, and related areas. [1/3]

We're excited to share the Lean FRO Year 3 Roadmap today! It builds on work completed in the first two years of Lean FRO operations and will guide all #LeanLang development through July 2026. ➡️ Read the roadmap at lean-lang.org/fro/ #LeanProver #FormalMathematics #FormalVerification

Very exciting opportunity!

I am advertising for 4 post-docs to come to Imperial and formalize, in Lean, *statements* of theorems from recent issues of the top generalist pure mathematics journals. www.imperial.ac.uk/jobs/search-... Positions are for 2 years, start date 1st Oct this year. Deadline 15th August.

A new "Mathlib initiative" focussed around Lean's mathematics library has been announced. Thanks to the generosity of Alex Gerko and XTX Markets, there is finally an official entity focussed on growing this 21st century way of doing mathematics. www.renaissancephilanthropy.org/news-and-ins...

My thoughts on the crucial importance of methodology on self-reported AI performance on mathematics competitions, and my policy on commenting on such reports going forward: mathstodon.xyz/@tao/1148814...

Hello world! This is the RL & Agents Reading Group We organise regular meetings to discuss recent papers in Reinforcement Learning (RL), Multi-Agent RL and related areas (open-ended learning, LLM agents, robotics, etc). Meetings take place online and are open to everyone 😊

The #SalemPrize for 2025 is now accepting nominations until September 15th. www.ias.edu/math/activit... (I am the chair of the Scientific Committee for the prize.) A bit more information in my blog post on this: terrytao.wordpress.com/2025/07/08/s...

very interesting discussion. the contrast IK makes between mathematics and inductive neural networks is compelling. perhaps of interest @patrickshafto.bsky.social? thanks for digging it up and for your analysis, @natolambert.bsky.social .

In this 10-minute UCLA Connect talk, Terence Tao provides an accessible and compelling argument for "citizen math" and broad collaboration in research #mathematics via #formalverification using proof assistants like #LeanLang. 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=K376...

Can you train a performant language model using only openly licensed text? We are thrilled to announce the Common Pile v0.1, an 8TB dataset of openly licensed and public domain text. We train 7B models for 1T and 2T tokens and match the performance similar models like LLaMA 1 & 2

Excited to have my @darpa.mil program on AI for pure math, Exponentiating Mathematics, featured in @technologyreview.com! #expMath

“The intuition is just so simple,” Williams said. “You can reuse space, but you can’t reuse time.” Read @benbenbrubaker.bsky.social's piece for @quantamagazine.bsky.social on @rrwilliams.bsky.social's landmark result sharpening our understanding of time-space tradeoffs.

This is a great experiment in autoformalization using cutting-edge tools (Canonical: github.com/chasenorman/...) within an actively developed research project (Equational Theories: teorth.github.io/equational_t...) Thanks for sharing @teorth.bsky.social! #LeanLang #LeanProver

Register to join this timely discussion on June 2, in person or on line, with @katecrawford.bsky.social @hofrench.bsky.social @tamigraph.bsky.social and @triofrancos.bsky.social, hosted by my Science, Technology, and Social Values Lab at the Institute for Advanced Study www.ias.edu/events/raree...

As an experiment, I tried to use automated tools to formalize (in as "mindless" a fashion as possible) a one-page human written proof into Lean. You can watch the results here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyyR...

Wow, looking forward to this!

Spent last week @ias with DeepMind math teams. AlphaProof, AlphaGeometry, PDEs, and PAIRs teams were there with leadership. Impressed by the collaboration. Huge, open technical problems to be solved. Exciting times for mathematics & AI! www.ias.edu/math/events/...

New paper accepted to ICML! We present a novel policy optimization algorithm for continuous control with a simple closed form which generalizes DDPG, SAC etc. to generic stochastic policies: Wasserstein Policy Optimization (WPO).

DARPA's "Exponentiating mathematics" (expMath) program, which is launching a challenge to develop and evaluate "AI collaborators" for assist in decomposing and formalizing informal mathematical proofs, is now taking short abstract proposal submissions: sam.gov/opp/869c8d73...

Mathjobs has been down for a week...which is kinda an issue. Many people on both sides are in limbo. :-/

Hello, World! Looking forward to connecting with you about new research in CS theory and what's happening in the Simons Institute's research programs, workshops, pods, and public lectures.

We're building a more responsive #LeanLang experience! UI upgrades include better performance, auto-completion and clearer error messages. Backend enhancements bring parallelism for faster builds, reduced latency, and soon a new module system for quicker recompilation times. #leanprover #programming

The Simons Institute is now on BlueSky! 🍾 Follow them: @simonsinstitute.bsky.social #TCSSky

New paper: Simulating Time With Square-Root Space people.csail.mit.edu/rrw/time-vs-... It's still hard for me to believe it myself, but I seem to have shown that TIME[t] is contained in SPACE[sqrt{t log t}]. To appear in STOC. Comments are very welcome!

Mathlib is a community-built library of mathematics in Lean with nearly 1.8MM lines of code and 190K mathematical theorems! Over 500 contributors have helped drive Mathlib forward at an incredible pace! Learn more at: leanprover-community.github.io/index.html #leanlang #leanprover #community

Our vision spans formal mathematics, software and hardware verification, software development, AI research, and education. We're fostering a decentralized ecosystem thriving on collaboration within our global community at leanprover.zulipchat.com #leanlang #leanprover #mathematics

DARPA released a Request for Information (RFI) that seeks community feedback on the draft DARPA Guide to Formal Methods to Deliver Resilient Systems for Proposals (“the FMDRS Guide”). You can find the RFI here on Sam.gov. Details in the image...
