"Fascinated by the notion of machines that could think, many designers attempted to build systems to solve problems that were beyond the reach of even the best experts. The thinking was, 'Well, we can’t solve this problem so let’s try throwing AI at it.'" (John Durkin, Expert Sytems, 1993)

Accurate and thorough representation of prior and related work is one of the cornerstones of good research. It is shocking to me that so many published NeurIPS papers, even from top institutions, have fabricated references. I recommend reading the original report: gptzero.me/news/neurips/

Climat: les Etats-Unis se retirent du GIEC. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

🤔We're building AI for climate backwards. Too often, researchers ask what AI can do, then search for climate applications. We need to reverse this: start with what climate action needs, then design AI to deliver it. @maxtav.bsky.social and I make the case in Nature this week: rdcu.be/eXMtH

From the 2022 drop era: “who needs wheat? Bread is so much tastier”

The ratio of benchmark papers to method papers seems to have skyrocketed. I didn't measure it but it feels like there was a multiplication by a factor of 100 over the last 5 years.

Just saw a person walking around with a “don’t give Islam a chance” sweater (written in German). I think that’s the first time I see Islamophobia that clearly on daylight. Shocking. For context, I don’t subscribe to any religion, but actively condemning people because of their beliefs is wrong.

J'accepte d'évaluer un article, dont le sujet m'intéresse, dans une bonne revue. Je le feuillète, et très vite je tombe sur au moins deux citations qui n'existent pas, dont une à mon propre travail. Misère de "l'intelligence artificielle", une fois de plus.

I’m starting a busy reviewing period during this end of year and I’m discovering AI-slop in references : authors and title from different papers merged into one, wrong date or arxiv id, when it’s not pure invention of a non-existing paper…

was at an event on AI for science yesterday, a panel discussion here at NeurIPS. The panelists discussed how they plan to replace humans at all levels in the scientific process. So I stood up and protested that what they are doing is evil. Full post: togelius.blogspot.com/2025/12/plea...

Since AI slop is again all over Scientific Reports, a thread on the economics of grey-zone publishing. Why does slop keep getting published? What does it mean for science? How can we stop this? Background readings: Understand the strain: tinyurl.com/2b6wxx5r Stop the drain: tinyurl.com/3jfscscy

Working on image translation? Domain adaptation? Check out FlowEO, newly accepted to #WACV2026. 📝 hal.science/hal-05388176 We introduce a data-dependent flow matching framework to perform image-level unsupervised domain adaptation of remote sensing imagery. Great work from @lebellig.bsky.social!

A functioning peer-review system with top-level conferences had one advantage, which is now eroded: unknown authors doing excellent research got into the conferences and therefore had a voice. I doubt that an equivalent arxiv-only submission will have the same chances of success. 5/5

I know that there are folks out there (like @ducha-aiki.bsky.social) who always argued for arxiv only, but IMO this development only further cements big groups. W/o filtering, directly accessing the sheer amount of arxiv papers, which papers are mostly read? The ones from well-known big labs. 4/5

OpenReview was breached. The names of authors, reviewers, ACs, etc, for all past and current conferences were visible for a time, making nothing anonymous anymore. These data have been released for this year's ICLR, but I fear it's also the case for the past 10 years of conferences.

but also if that's really the angle they want to take, any trivial QA agent equipped with access to wikipedia satisfies a definition of AGI.

Also about reviewing for #aaai: is it just me or is it painful to review without line numbering?

5,290 papers will be published at NeurIPS this year. If you could still get the proceedings in a book, it would be like 50,000 pages long. That’s 14.5 papers a day to read each and every day until the next NeurIPS

I know it’s not great to do things last minute, but I have to say, having read 4 papers and written their reviews, and not being able to submit them because openreview is down is really frustrating. Now the site is back but the review task is closed 🙃 #aaai #openreview

I wrote an op-ed on the world-class STEM research ecosystem in the United States, and how this ecosystem is now under attack on multiple fronts by the current administration: newsletter.ofthebrave.org/p/im-an-awar...

🚀 DinoV3 just became the new go-to backbone for geoloc! It outperforms CLIP-like models (SigLip2, finetuned StreetCLIP)… and that’s shocking 🤯 Why? CLIP models have an innate advantage — they literally learn place names + images. DinoV3 doesn’t.
