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!

Dear #mathsky, if you repost this, it will let people see the article for free. Thanks! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

☀️ 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...

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...

Cover's result is beautiful and still applies widely to today's #ML models: e.g. LLMs cannot rank their vocabulary in all possible ways 📊 Putting aside enumeration, a visual way of thinking about which rankings are realisable is:
