CDS Silver Professor Julia Kempe (@kempelab.bsky.social) is co-organizing this year's ICLR 2026 Workshop on New Frontiers in Associative Memory. The workshop is accepting submissions related to associative memory until Feb 14. nfam2026.amemory.net

Now that ICML papers are submitted, what could be a better time to prepare a cool paper for the New Frontiers in Associative Memory workshop @iclr-conf.bsky.social? Deadline: February 14, 2026. Call for papers: nfam2026.amemory.net Submissions are open via Open Review.

Official #ICLR2026 workshop on Associative Memory! The scope covers algorithms, architectures, hardware design, agentic workflows, and other ideas where memory plays a crucial computational role.

I have just landed in San Diego and I will be at #NeurIPS2025 for the week. DM or send me an email if you want to chat about interesting papers and potential projects related to associative memory, energy-based models, new architectures, or other cool ideas.

I am very excited about our new paper just published in PNAS. www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1... It was a pleasure to work on this idea together with @leokoz8.bsky.social and Jean-Jacques Slotine.

Big week for astrocyte research: 3 new Science papers link astrocytes to behavior. We're excited to add to the momentum with our new PNAS paper: a theory, grounded in biology, proposing astrocytes as key players in memory storage and recall. w/ JJ Slotine and @krotov.bsky.social (1/6)

John Hopfield on pursuing interesting things: “Doesn’t matter what they are - interesting is the important one”. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYgs...

I am heading to #ICLR2025 in Singapore. If you want to chat about associative memories, energy-based models, and related topics let’s connect! The highlight for me this year is the New Frontiers in Associative Memories workshop on Sunday April 27. Here is the schedule ⬇️

New ms! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... I developed a normative coding theory for feedback-modulated canonical networks, providing a unified view of (1) efficient & predictive coding, (2) computational & algorithmic principles, (3) unimodal & multimodal sensory processing.

Now that ICML papers are submitted and we are in the midst of discussions on whether scaling is enough or new architectural/algorithmic ideas are needed, what can be a better time to submit your best work to our workshop on New Frontiers in Associative Memory @iclr-conf.bsky.social?

I am very honored to return to my alma mater to give a distinguished lecture on AI for Science at Rice University's Ken Kennedy Institute. events.rice.edu/event/spring...

I am excited to announce the call for papers for the New Frontiers in Associative Memories workshop at ICLR 2025. New architectures and algorithms, memory-augmented LLMs, energy-based models, Hopfield nets, AM and diffusion, and many other topics. Website: nfam.vizhub.ai @iclr-conf.bsky.social

Wow, what a night! A heartfelt congratulations to my dear friend and collaborator John Hopfield and all the 2024 Laureates. #NobelPrize

What a wonderful day of Nobel lectures and inspiring conversations at the beautiful Aula Magna, Stockholm University! #NobelPrize

Physics is a point of view. Wise words from John Hopfield’s Nobel lecture. #NobelPrize

Most of the work on Dense Associative Memory (DenseAM) thus far has focused on the regime when the amount of data (number of memories) is below the critical memory storage capacity. We are beginning to explore the opposite limit, when the data is large.

Check out our new #NeurIPS2024 paper, where we develop a distributed representation for a broad class of Dense Associative Memories. Similarly to the traditional Hopfield Network, the number of weights can be kept fixed and independent of the number of memories when new patterns are introduced.

Hello World! Is this the right place? 🙃
