Make sure to get your tickets to AABI if you are in Singapore on April 29 (just after #ICLR2025) and interested in probabilistic modeling, inference, and decision-making! Tickets (free but limited!): lu.ma/5syzr79m More info: approximateinference.org #Bayes #MachineLearning #ICLR2025 #AABI2025

Now, the fantastic @jmtomczak.bsky.social is telling us about probabilistic circuits at GeMSS/Statlearn 2025 @gemssai.bsky.social

We have just opened a fully-funded PhD position at Cambridge, supervised by me & Vasily Belokurov. Topic: AI + astronomical imaging (broadly defined). Deadline: April 16. Please share with anyone who may be interested! www.postgraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/courses/dire...

It’s a green light for the Frugal AI Challenge! 🚀 For the next month, we invite all members of the AI community to participate in one of our 3 AI for Climate tasks, with the goal of developing a highly accurate model while consuming as little energy as possible ⚡

ICML 2025 Call for Workshops is out. icml.cc/Conferences/...

Exciting news! 🚀 The Learning Meaningful Representations of Life ( #LMRL 🌟) workshop is returning at #ICLR2025! 🎉 On 27th / 28th April 2025 in Singapore 🇸🇬, this popular event returns with a fresh organizing team 👇 & bold new ideas 🧠 to explore bridging AI & life sciences 🧬

I see a few familiar names. ☺️☺️ Congrats Anna and Jakub!

🔊 Super excited to announce the first ever Frontiers of Probabilistic Inference: Learning meets Sampling workshop at #ICLR2025 @iclr-conf.bsky.social! 🔗 website: sites.google.com/view/fpiwork... 🔥 Call for papers: sites.google.com/view/fpiwork... more details in thread below👇 🧵

This is very important and I am so glad about the efforts taken in Tübingen by Claire. Kudos! 👏

Shar, you are simply amazing! And working you with is a highlight!

@neuripsconf.bsky.social Program Chair spotted 😁😁 @jmtomczak.bsky.social Jakub, seeing you work towards making NeurIPS happen, has been awe inspiring. What a mammoth effort! A proud advisee moment 🥹

Loving bsky community. Since I joined, I got to meet a lot of new people especially women in ML/AI! It's really heart warming to see that there are so many incredible women doing really cool work especially on the days when you face the challenges of working in severely skewed gender ratio groups.

Inspired by @wimlds.bsky.social , I looked for a "Women in Machine Learning" starter pack and couldn't find one. So I created one! May have some mistakes. I'll try to do an AI ethics one next. 🤗 go.bsky.app/LT6CwNN

"Women full professors are 19% more likely than men at the same career stage to leave academia, as compared with 6% for women assistant professors and 10% for associates."

I will be at @newtheory.ai 🚀 launch party in Vancouver! Hope to see you all! ✨

Come say hi to our team at @neuripsconf.bsky.social

I am super hyped and happy with our recent paper on a ✨VampPrior 2.0✨: Hierarchical VAE with a diffusion-based VampPrior! 🦇 We got SOTA VAE results on CIFAR-10! Kudos to Anna Kuzina because this TMLR paper is the last chapter in her PhD thesis 🤩 📃 tinyurl.com/22rvzc4f 💻 github.com/AKuzina/dvp_...

Many organizations for women in tech and other under-represented groups have shut down the past few years like Women Who Code and Girls In Tech. One of the reasons cited is lack of funds If you are able to, please donate to organizations that support underrepresented people in tech 🧵

Yesterday @ellisamsterdam.bsky.social hosted the yearly NeurIPS-Fest, a pre-party for NeurIPS with a keynote talk, poster session, drinks and bites! 🍺🍻 The keynote was by @canaesseth.bsky.social , who talked about "Diffusion, Flows and other stories", presenting his 5 papers accepted at NeurIPS! 💥

I'm going to try using BlueSky more reliably for a while. Here are a few thoughts that are guiding my engagement here, and hopefully learning from our collective experience over at Twitter. chrisholdgraf.com/blog/2024/bl...

A gentle reminder to @iclr-conf.bsky.social authors: your revision must not exceed 10 pages, adhering to the same requirements as the original submission.

Hey hey, I am around in the Bay area for the next few weeks. Bay area folks hit me up if you want to meet up for coffee/ vegan food in and around SF ☕🌯 🥟 Got a major weather upgrade☀️ from Amsterdam's insanity last week 🌀🌩️

Let us know if you would like to be added to the list. Looking forward to seeing the GDL community here 🦋 Also, follow @gram-org.bsky.social for GRaM workshop related updates.

Yesterday was my first day at FAIR Chemistry as a research scientist. Looking for interns for summer 2025!

Hi everyone! This is AMLab :) Looking forward to share our research here on 🦋 !

Yesterday, @erikjbekkers.bsky.social presented his vision on equivariance to IvI (at UvA), showcasing recent work on geometry-grounded representation learning - addressing fundamental limitations in geometric reasoning of current AI systems. 🤖 Exciting times ahead for geometric deep learning! 🌐 🤩

📣🔥Last chance to submit your work for the @iclr-conf.bsky.social 2025 Blogpost Track! The deadline is November 22, 2024, at 23:59 AOE—don’t miss it! For any inquiries, feel free to reach out to us at: [email protected]. iclr.cc/Conferences/... #MachineLearning
