🚀 We're hiring! Two Postdoctoral Research Associates in Multimodal Foundation Models for Healthcare based at @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social, working with Aldo Faisal on Nightingale AI. 📅 Fixed term, 24 months ⏰ Closing date: 16 June 2026 Apply here: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DRP608/p... #jobs

If you are interested in privacy-preserving clinical NLP, we are recruiting a postdoc at the University of Edinburgh! The work is on LLMs/VLMs, AI privacy, and real-world health data in secure research environments. Apply by April 6th, 2026! More details: elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...

Today NeurIPS is announcing our official satellite event in Paris. After responding to the call from Ellis following the success of EurIPS in December, we are pleased to reach a new milestone by joining forces with the NeurIPS organizing committee for the 2026 edition.

@kaggle.com seriously? Are you really hosting an "object recognition" challenge with classes which include "plane,drone,human,ship" and goals which include "identifying objects of interest in operational contexts"?

We are advertising a postdoc position to work on #generative #models, #structure #induction, and MI #estimation with Michael Gutmann as part of @genaihub.bsky.social ! elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid... Get in touch! (#ML #AI) 👉 homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/snaraya3/ 👉 michaelgutmann.github.io

🧵New paper: "Lost in Backpropagation: The LM Head is a Gradient Bottleneck" The output layer of LLMs destroys 95-99% of your training signal during backpropagation, and this significantly slows down pretraining 👇

In light of the current funding situation (worldwide), a modest proposal: instead of pouring billions of dollars into GenAI claiming "it *could* accelerate science and research," consider putting 1% of that amount in what *will* accelerate science and research. Namely, funding science and research.

We will be running the 13th iteration of the workshop on Fine-Grained Visual Categorization (FGVC) at CVPR this summer. We have an open call for papers that explore questions in visual recognition. Please see our website for more information: sites.google.com/view/fgvc13/...

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 :)

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!

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:
