Fantastic opportunity to work on #reliable #LLMs in Edinburgh! Antonio is phenomenal and super fun to work with!

Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like your slopinion, man. (2025 version)

Introducing Bolmo, a new family of byte-level language models built by "byteifying" our open Olmo 3—and to our knowledge, the first fully open byte-level LM to match or surpass SOTA subword models across a wide range of tasks. 🧵

📣 PhD opening – Fall 2026 The DUCK Lab @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social is looking for a PhD student to join us! Why 🦆? We work on foundational aspects of #neurosymbolicAI and #SafeAI. 👉 DUCK = Data, Uncertainty, Constraints & Knowledge 📩 Apply by emailing: [email protected]

I will be presenting this work from 11AM-2PM at #NeurIPS2025 in San Diego today! Come by poster #2012 to learn more :)

We’re excited to see @nsaphra.bsky.social’s work featured in @quantamagazine.bsky.social—& even more excited that she will be joining the CDS faculty in 2026! Read about Naomi's research via @benbenbrubaker.bsky.social spr.ly/63323AbqfH 📸 Ken Richardson

The best feature of overleaf is the subliminal messages it produces by choosing how to order the author tiles. It was a long day, and Overleaf was like, maybe you should go to the pub!

It's been a while, but I am happy to share that my PhD dissertation is finally available online! 🎉 Not only it contains most of my work, but there is plenty of brand new content: publikationen.sulb.uni-saarland.de/handle/20.50... 🧵1/4

At #ACL2025NLP and on the job market (NLP + AI Safety) 💼 It's great to see growing interest in safety/alignment, but we often miss the social context. Come to our @woahworkshop.bsky.social Friday to dive deeper into safe safety research! A quiet token from the biggest @aclmeeting.bsky.social ⬇️

Next week I will be in 🌴 Rio 🌴 attending (and helping organizing) UAI 2025 and TPM 2025. If you are also attending and want to talk science (e.g. probabilistic generative models, causality, multi-objective machine learning, etc) or just hang out, not everything is work, feel free to reach me out!

☀️ I will be in Edinburgh this summer (Jun-Aug) at @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social, visiting the group of Antonio Vergari (@nolovedeeplearning.bsky.social) to work on #neurosymbolic #AI and #probabilistic #ML If you are around and want to chat about these topics, let's meet for coffee!

🚀 By *learning* to compress the KV cache in Transformer LLMs, we can generate more tokens for the same compute budget. This unlocks *inference-time hyper-scaling* For the same runtime or memory load, we can boost LLM accuracy by pushing reasoning even further!

I will be in London tomorrow, at @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social and @imperial-ix.bsky.social , hosted by @e-giunchiglia.bsky.social to talk about #neurosymbolic #AI #reliability #probabilistic #reasoning Ping me if you want to chat ∧∨ grab coffee!

⏳⏳⏳ One more day to the NeSy abstract submission! Don't miss it! Full timeline at: 2025.nesyconf.org/call-for-pap...

🚨🚨 Last I-X Seminar of the Year! Don’t miss Dr Antonio Vergari (@nolovedeeplearning.bsky.social) on Logically-Consistent Deep Learning — a crucial topic at the intersection of logic & neural networks! 🌟

We have extended the submission deadline for TPM to the 2nd of June! Remember that **we accept recently accepted works that fit in topic,** so if you want to travel to Rio and share your work it's a no brainer imho 🌴🌴

🗓️ Deadline extended: 💥2nd June 2025!💥 We are looking forward to your works on: 🔌 #circuits and #tensor #networks 🕸️ ⏳ normalizing #flows 💨 ⚖️ scaling #NeSy #AI 🦕 🚅 fast and #reliable inference 🔍 ...& more! please share 🙏

Rio is looking forward to seeing all your works on #fast #reliable #tractable #models #circuits #tensor #networks #flows! please share!

Sparse attention is one of the most promising strategies to unlock long-context processing and long-generation reasoning in LLMs. We performed the most comprehensive study on training-free sparse attention to date. Here is what we found:

great to have David Watson (dswatson.github.io) visiting us today and talking about #trustworthy #AI #ML for tabular data with #trees and #circuits with connections to #generative modeling, #causality and #fast inference!

We created Approximate Likelihood Matching, a principled (and very effective) method for *cross-tokenizer distillation*! With ALM, you can create ensembles of models from different families, convert existing subword-level models to byte-level and a bunch more🧵

I found some time to upload causalflows to PyPI :) If you want to use the library now it is as simple as running > pip install causalflows or, if you are riding the uv wave, > uv add causalflows Enjoy!

Live from the CoLoRAI workshop at AAAI (april-tools.github.io/colorai/) Nadav Cohen is now giving his talk on "What Makes Data Suitable for Deep Learning?" Tools from quantum physics are shown to be useful in building more expressive deep learning models by changing the data distribution.

we're almost ready for the @realaaai.bsky.social #AAAI25 Workshop on Connecting Low-rank Representations in #AI (#CoLoRAI) tomorrow! we also have video presentations for some of the accepted papers you can already check (👉 april-tools.github.io/colorai/acce...)! 📽️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlVd...
