Want to use your favourite #NeSy model but afraid of the reasoning shortcuts?🫣

Fear not💪🏻In our #NeurIPS2025 paper we show that you just need to equip your favourite NeSy model with prototypical networks and the reasoning shortcuts will be a problem of the past!

📈 Tenerife Norte bate su récord de temperatura para noviembre: 33 °C el día 4.

➡️ Supera ampliamente el registro máximo anterior, de 31 °C. Tenerife Norte tiene una serie de datos de 85 años.

Convince me that Dagstuhl seminars are real and not AI generated 😒

Does a smaller latent space lead to worse generation in latent diffusion models? Not necessarily! We show that LDMs are extremely robust to a wide range of compression rates (10-1000x) in the context of physics emulation.

Friday afternoon! Finally time to look back at a busy week, and ask oneself — "wait, what did I do, again?"

We are excited to bring #EurIPS 2025 to Copenhagen in December.

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:

PS: If something, just check it out for the aesthetics 😋 (I will release the LaTeX template soon)

Deep Learning is Not So Mysterious or Different Deep neural networks are often seen as different from other model classes by defying conventional notions of generalization. Popular examples of anomalous generalization behaviour include benign overf...

Funny enough, I later found my perspective on soft constraints to be quite similar as that of soft inductive biases by @andrewgwils.bsky.social in one of his latest works:

Also, I did put considerably effort to frame everything under a common question:

> What biases can we add to DL optimization so that the outcome of the model is what we expected from the beginning?

‘Worrying’ levels of screen time means young people losing confidence to socialise in person, minister warns – UK politics live Culture secretary Lisa Nandy says ‘majority of young people spend all, or almost all, of their free time alone in their bedrooms, online’

This is not caused primarily by "screen time".

It's been caused by the mass eradication of third places for young people in basically every city over the past three decades - and a society that's hostile to the concept of teens socialising in public spaces.

What a nice experience! Thank you everyone who attended TPM!

Particularly those who engaged in the poster sessions, few times I had so much fun discussing my poster!

likely one of the best editions of #TPM ever!

big thanks to @poorvagarg.bsky.social @jsleland.bsky.social @javaloyml.bsky.social @zzhe.bsky.social @lennertds.bsky.social Lingyun Yao and Christoph Staudt for organizing it

and to everyone who attended it!

My maternity leave project is now somewhat out: I made a jupyterbook about the basics of ML, that I teach at TUE. You can check it out here:

The linA part is not yet formulated out and there are other todos, but maybe it helps someone with their own course design 😅

Last talk of the day for TPM!

@auai.org #TPM2025

we almost end the day (banquet incoming) with an extremely lively poster session!

the conference cannot officially start without a proper reception 🍹

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!

Agreed... 🥲

That would be awesome!

FYI The rule was different two months ago, requiring only virtual attendance, and it was changed during the reviewing period.

web.archive.org/web/20250514...

Unrelatedly, the rule of mandatory physical attendance for authors was changed *after* the submission deadline: web.archive.org/web/20250514...

People submitted their works under some given premises, altering them a posteriori is questionable at best...

Hmm, this rule seems very recently changed? web.archive.org/web/20250514...
This was what it said just before the deadline, so people submitting to NeurIPS couldn't have known about the mandatory physical presence 🤔

✨Thrilled to see EurIPS launch — the first officially endorsed European NeurIPS presentation venue!

👀 But NeurIPS now requires at least one author to attend in San Diego or Mexico (and not just virtually as before). This is detrimental to many. Why not allow presenting at EurIPS or online?

For years, people have suggested having alternate NeurIPS locations, outside the US. 2025 is the first time it will be done, with satellite locations in Copenhagen and Mexico City.

I wonder if this will be a one-off thing, or whether the trend will continue.

Really great news! 👏
