from the memories from Rio, when with @leanderk.bsky.social and @paolomorettin.bsky.social we were on the beach wondering if to use the Best Student Paper Runner-up Award as a surfing board.

The world is a beautiful and fragile place that we are allowed to enjoy temporarily and should feel responsible for. It’s regrettable that we (the ML community) don’t manage to have decentralised conferences across the globe (look at you, @neuripsconf.bsky.social). Let's be better together!

Absolutely. We would have #EurIPS now in Copenhagen, but, presentation there is just optional. Each paper must still be presented live in San Diego. This whole @neuripsconf.bsky.social ethical correctness yada yada is merely a fig leaf.

congratulations to Frédéric Koriche, Jean-Marie Lagniez and Chi Tran for winning the 🏆 Best Paper Award 🏆 at #UAI2025 for "Probabilistic Explanations for Regression Models" 👉 openreview.net/forum?id=ipn...

congratulations to Paula Cordero Encinar, Francesca Romana Crucinio and O. Deniz Akyildiz (@odakyildiz.bsky.social‬) for winning the 🏆 Best Student Paper Award 🏆 at #UAI2025 with "Proximal Interacting Particle Langevin Algorithms" 👉 openreview.net/forum?id=rTq...

and to @leanderk.bsky.social @paolomorettin.bsky.social Roberto Sebastiani, @andreapasserini.bsky.social @nolovedeeplearning.bsky.social for the ✨Best Student Paper Runner Up Award✨ for "A Probabilistic Neurosymbolic Layer for Algebraic Constraint Satisfaction" 👉 openreview.net/forum?id=9Uk...

My maternity leave project is now somewhat out: I made a jupyterbook about the basics of ML, that I teach at TUE. You can check it out here: sibylse.github.io/TUEML/intro.... The linA part is not yet formulated out and there are other todos, but maybe it helps someone with their own course design 😅

we almost end the day (banquet incoming) with an extremely lively poster session!

last two orals on robustness (now posters!) 👉 www.auai.org/uai2025/sche...

let's start day 4 with the oral session on optimization! 👉 www.auai.org/uai2025/sche...

Day 3 continues with the oral presentations about Causality! 👉 www.auai.org/uai2025/sche...

If you are in the Bay Area, consider attending our workshop, "Graph Learning Meets TCS," at the Simons Institute (simons.berkeley.edu/workshops/gr...).

✨ our General chair Negar Kiyavash and Program chairs @csilviavr.bsky.social and @smaglia.bsky.social kicking off Day 2 ✨

First #UAI2025 keynote by Francesca Dominici (hsph.harvard.edu/profile/fran...) on """ Uncertainty in AI: Solution or Obstacle for Climate Action? """

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?

the conference cannot officially start without a proper reception 🍹
