#NousICREAs2025 |📊 Gergely Neu (@neu-rips.bsky.social @upf.edu#NousICREAs2025 estudia els fonaments de l’aprenentatge automàtic i IA, amb l’objectiu de desenvolupar algoritmes més transparents i robustos, capaços de prendre decisions fiables en el món real. https://short.do/JYHhN1

Wildly different things, tasks, techniques, subspecialties being lumped into "AI" and then being conflated with each other, doesn't help. Different types of models vs the techniques to train them vs the tasks they are supposed to accomplish, all under "AI".

4️⃣ #recercairesICREA han aconseguit una ERC Consolidator Grant (@erc.europa.eu). 🔶Vladimir Asriyan 🔶Rebekah Clements 🔶Gergely Neu 🔶I Marc Garcia, que s'incorpora a ICREA properament! 👏Enhorabona per aquest ajut que us permetrà consolidar els vostres projectes! 🔗 short.do/AWRd_V

In applying AI to material science, biology, etc, capitalism is trying to shed science. The point is to substitute the engineering of a machine that can generate what science has hitherto done, but without having people know things. Knowledge ultimately residing in private property is the dream.

one of those (innumerable) days when i just can't get @6organs.bsky.social tunes out of my head. guess I'll just have to lean into it

Announcing the ICML 2026 policy for LLMs in reviewing! Reviewers and authors both pick either conservative or permissive LLM use, and will be matched accordingly. Importantly: authors on papers who choose conservative must obey the conservative policy as reviewers.

#Recerca Quatre investigadors vinculats a la #UPFBarcelona desenvoluparan la seva recerca innovadora gràcies als ajuts ERC Consolidator Grant 2025 atorgats per l'European Research Council @erc.europa.eu L'enhorabona! 👏👏👏

immensely grateful & happy to be among the recipients 🙏🙏🙏

The Learning Theory Alliance (LeT-All) also had a social at #EurIPS this year! Featuring a panel discussion as well as mentoring tables afterwards. Building community on multiple continents at the same time!

One thing I really love about EurIPS is how so many different people and groups pitched in to make it happen. A true community effort. This echoes the philosophy of the Learning Theory Alliance, and I'm glad the crew (inc @neu-rips.bsky.social @amartyasanyal.bsky.social) did such a great job!

It's a wrap! After 3 main conference days, 1 #ELLIS UnConference day, and now 2 Workshop days #EurIPS is officially over. Thank you to you all for your support and engagement, it has been truly overwhelming in the most positive way.

happy to finally share some BIG news: today i'm starting a new job as an ICREA research professor (@icreacommunity.bsky.social) at @upf.edu. this is literally the best job ever and i'm looking forward to all the exciting work i'll get to do now that i am tenured!

looking at you #AISTATS2025

BYE - dashare.zone ADMIN

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 1/

COME ON - dashare.zone ADMIN

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. 1/n

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.

Nicolo Cesa-Bianchi and Matteo Papini are putting together a great unconference workshop at the @ellis.eu day at @euripsconf.bsky.social If you want to talk about RL, causality, bandits, online learning, join us there on December 2nd sites.google.com/view/ilir-wo...

check out this PhD opportunity for female students from Africa at @upf.edu : www.upf.edu/web/phd-engi... i have hired my amazing student @NnekaOkolo4 via this program, which was a great success. hope i can find someone this time as well! let me know if you have any questions

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.

I’m excited to announce that my new book, _The Irrational Decision_, is now available for pre-order from Princeton University Press.

NEVER !! - dashare.zone ADMIN

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?

what's the opposite of FOMO called again? either way, i'm right in the middle of that (hope everyone else is doing fine at #ICML2025 nevertheless!)

great initiative -- I'll be there!

NeurIPS is endorsing EurIPS, an independently-organized meeting which will offer researchers an opportunity to additionally present NeurIPS work in Europe concurrently with NeurIPS. Read more in our blog post and on the EurIPS website: blog.neurips.cc/2025/07/16/n... eurips.cc

THINK ABOTU IT - dashare.zone ADMIN

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 😂😂 #ADHD or #academia? discuss!

wanna know how to do inverse Q-learning right? read this paper then!! joint work with the best team of students ever ♥️

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.. 1/n

posting something nice soon

time to smash that TURBO button

looking forward to giving a talk at the 2025 GHOST day in the beautiful city of Poznan (Poland) --- hope to see you there this weekend!

***BREAKING NEWS*** this paper is set to appear at COLT 2025!!!

Silicon Valley is run by people who genuinely think the world as we know it is going to end in the next few decades. Many also WANT this to happen: they WANT the biological world to be replaced by a new digital world. They WANT "posthumans" to take the place of humans. A 🧵:

Would you present your next NeurIPS paper in Europe instead of traveling to San Diego (US) if this was an option? Søren Hauberg (DTU) and I would love to hear the answer through this poll: (1/6)
