Also putting a coin in the machine would be the last step before we reach gambling as publication selection. We already have the random/noisy decisions we just needed the money to become a loot box community !

Agreed for travel cost. Only rich people do the type of finance that motivates tax Taubin. This is for me closer to french TVA that would hit everyone that submit 2 papers (given accept ratio you always submit 2 papers) but won't even be registered by large teams or bad actors that will submit many.

Don't you think it's going to be even harder for those not working in a rich country (or company 😜). Seems a bit unfair. Also if you can pay for gpt pro you can pay for this...

really annoying.
my student just made this joke:
ICLR= I Can Locate Reviewers 😅

I guess we will see because thats what they decided...

#ICLR Program chairs, Just stop the process already! We can trust the AC to make decision with reviews and responses but we cannot trust anything that happened since the leak.

OpenReview was breached. The names of authors, reviewers, ACs, etc, for all past and current conferences were visible for a time, making nothing anonymous anymore. These data have been released for this year's ICLR, but I fear it's also the case for the past 10 years of conferences.

AI researchers loose privacy. I guess this is karma for what we have done with the data from everyone 😉. ICLR PC need to freeze all open review forum changes right now because the process is tainted for all future edits

Sonia and I will present this work this afternoon at the NeuripS@Paris poster session. Come see us if you are around.

Unsupervised Learning for Optimal Transport plan prediction between unbalanced graphs Optimal transport between graphs, based on Gromov-Wasserstein and other extensions, is a powerful tool for comparing and aligning graph structures. However, solving the associated non-convex optimizat...

I am happy to share that I will be at NeurIPS in San Diego to present our paper with @rflamary.bsky.social and Bertrand Thirion on optimal transport plan prediction between graphs.
If you are around come say hi!

Dear Dr. Flamary, Remi, This is an official invitation from the Editorial Office, sent from the United States.

I was worried for a sec but since it's sent from the US this is totally a legitimate scientific publisher and not a predatory journal at all.

Always makes me worry the power of google scholar on research despite a skeleton crew taking care of it and literally no bug report or way to fix errors.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

This Nature retrospective is quite interesting.
To me, the only solution to the credit assignment problem is obvious: stop believing a single person is responsible for every big discovery. It's an artifact of our monkey brain requiring a face for storage, not the reality of how knowledge progresses.

Sometimes I wish I could do a master's internship again, and this is one of those times...

And of course big Thanks to the Jury including Nicolas Thome, Maarten De Vos, Alain Rakotomamonjy, @rtavenar.bsky.social and as president Agnès Desolneux .

Yesterday @tgnassou.bsky.social successfully defended his PhD thesis on domain adaptation of signals and in particular EEG. Huge congrats to him for all his work and his wonderful slides. It was a pleasure to be his advisor with @agramfort.bsky.social and I can't wait to see what he will do next!

A comic strip in four panels: Panel 1. A bird's-eye view of the top of the Amphora of Great Intelligence, a wizard in yellow colors is on the stack of books from the content of the amphora. He yell at a crowd of wizard at the bottom of the Amphora, a crowd of red wizard. Some other wizard in red evacuate some grimoires, their arms are full of books. On the top, you can see an onion (for The Onion) and a cover that looks like the Reddit mascot: > Wizard in yellow: Alright, I've cleared out a few grimoires to tweak it, we should get better results now! Panel 2. A view of the wizards at the foot of the Amphora, the fire is intense, they all raise their arms in incantation: > Crowd of wizards: Amphora of Great Intelligence, our world is dying, share your knowledge with us! Panel 3. The Amphora of Intelligence starts speaking, this time very seriously. The mages are still speechless. > Amphora: Stop chasing profits blindly, reduce your reliance on fossil fuels, and prioritize repair and recycling over production. > Crowd of wizards: ... ... ... Panel 4. A discontented red wizard yells at the wizard in yellow who tweaked the content of the Amphora in panel one. This one feels surprised: >Wizard in red: I don't like this. Let's adjust it again.

Le dernier Ragnarok est génial mais quand tu est un fan qui a acheté les vieux qui ont pas la même taille ça fait moche dans la bibliothèque et ça c'est triste 🥲

Three panel thing. In the left panel we use error bars. In the second, we take statistical significance as the biggest number but still have error bars. In LLM science, we just have the biggest number

What if we did a single run and declared victory

Ender's game

Competitor enters a major AI competition (RNA folding)
GPU poor so can't train an AI
Builds a "classic" eng pipeline instead. (90s tech)
Wins and beat everyone using DL 💀
Their winning "hybrid" model had an AI in it. Their original one did not and had a higher score
So they won despite the AI 😂

Probably the best paper title of my career. To read with the Indiana jones soundtrack. And yes we solved and differentiated quite well 80 millions (small) Fused Gromov Wasserstein problems per epoch using a neural network on GPU.

So because you don't want large batches you solve the whole OT problem! Love it.

It's a great discussion because we all have different interpretation of what this means and what the consequences are.

Myself, I have absolutely no doubt that scaling works. If you have all the videos in the world and are able to train a model that can recall and merge any of them, then for sure...
