The path to PhD - Advice from a young scientist I am Scientist · Episode

I had the pleasure of being interviewed on the @i-am-scientist.bsky.social podcast by @lisaschmors.bsky.social and @philipphubert.bsky.social . I talk about how I ended up writing my newsletter (path2phd.substack.com) and the people who supported me all along. Enjoy!

So—does this mean theory is doomed, and AI engineering is just a random walk? Not at all!

💡 @rpatrik96.bsky.social @wielandbrendel.bsky.social Randall Balestriero did an amazing job clarifying where theory can help practice—and where practice should inspire theory.

🤝

Kudos to the great team @ninamiolane.bsky.social @rpatrik96.bsky.social @charlesoneill.bsky.social Harald Maurer 🙏

How can neural nets extract *interpretable* features from data—& uncover new science?

👉 Discover our mathematical framework tackling this question w/ identifiability theory, compressed sensing, interpretability & geometry!🌐

New preprint!🚀

Decoding neural representations is a challenge in neuroscience & AI.

👉 Learn how identifiability theory, compressed sensing & interpretability research -w/ a dash of geometry- can help!

1/ Hi all, I am at #NeurIPS2024 and I will be hiring a postdoc in probabilistic machine learning starting asap.

Research interests: amortized, approximate & simulator-based inference, Bayesian optimization, and AI4science.

Get in touch for a chat or come to our posters today 11AM or Friday 11AM!

How to Merge Your Multimodal Models Over Time? Model merging combines multiple expert models - finetuned from a base foundation model on diverse tasks and domains - into a single, more capable model. However, most existing model merging approaches...

📄 New Paper: "How to Merge Your Multimodal Models Over Time?"

arxiv.org/abs/2412.06712

Model merging assumes all finetuned models are available at once. But what if they need to be created over time?

We study Temporal Model Merging through the TIME framework to find out!

We are looking for a PostDoc on human-AI interaction to work with @mirizilka.bsky.social

The project studies systems used in law enforcement or legal decision-making, when humans act on recommendations/predictions made by ML algorithms.

Email for details.

spotlight on showing a useful inductive bias in language models to extrapolate language rules.

See you on Fri 13 Dec 4:30 p.m. PST — 7:30 p.m. PST at poster #2702.

Next week I will be in Berkeley. Reach out if you'd like to talk about OOD/compositional generalization, causality, SSL, or inductive biases.
