So many🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations.

What happened to him

Indeed - we showed an AutoML could easily compete with a deep learning LSTM & significantly outperform it in efficiency academic.oup.com/bioinformati... #automl #deeplearning #machinelearning

The last one is gorgeous!

Volume 269

Proceedings of Learning on Graphs 2024

Is now available on PMLR.

@aithyra.bsky.social Opening Symposium "AI for Life Science" with Nobel Laureate Frances Arnold as keynote speaker in addition to an outstanding line up of speakers on a variety of topics across biological scales and data modalities.

Registration is now open at cemm.at/aithyra-symp...

I am pleased to announce that together with some friends, we are organising a workshop on Non-Reversible MCMC Sampling, taking place at Newcastle University from 8–10 September 2025.

Details on the programme and registration can be found at the workshop website (sites.google.com/view/probai-...).

Very similar hair😄.

At ICML, we're presenting a paper on uncertainty-aware surface reconstruction!

Compared to previous approaches, we are able to completely remove the need for recursive linear solves for reconstruction and interpolation, using geometric GP machinery.

Check it out!

Nice work, Nathan. I really appreciate this book—it’s been super helpful as I dive deeper into RLHF research. It’s helping me understand things much more clearly.

Love this! Recently noticed Gaussian Processes popping up again—especially some really cool work applying them to LLMs. Feels like they’re making a bit of a comeback.

Calling the Brighton AI community - Neil D. Lawrence, DeepMind Professor of Machine Learning at Cambridge University, will be discussing his book, The Atomic Human, on Wed 23rd July - Tix link in comments.

The Code of Practice is out. I co-wrote the Safety & Security Chapter, which is an implementation tool to help frontier AI companies comply with the EU AI Act in a lean but effective way. I am proud of the result!

Is it a real croissant and can it be eaten? Omg, that’s one super big one! It will be a one-week breakfast feast for you, Michael 😂

😁 Michael, you were totally rocking that horse. Glad you had such a great birthday gift!

Looks fantastic!

Such an exciting project and an incredible opportunity

Don't sleep on Gaussian processes. Most under-rated model class on this or any other planet (we've used Gaussian processes to study exo-planets!)

A turquoise blue graphic with a large and a small illustration of a sperm whale on it, by the large whale there is a speech bubble with sound waves in it. In the background there are waves in varying shades of the turquoise blue to look like the ocean. There is also text on the graphic reading ‘Did you know that sperm whales possess a phonetic alphabet and are capable of social learning?’ ‘Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative) is using machine learning and robotics to listen to and translate the communication of sperm whales.’ and ‘#WorldOceanDay #CompSciOxford’.

Did you know that sperm whales possess a phonetic alphabet & are capable of social learning? @projectceti.bsky.social (Cetacean Translation Initiative) is using ML & robotics with Prof @mmbronstein.bsky.social to listen to and translate the communication of sperm whales.

#WorldOceanDay

A dark blue graphic with a bright blue box on it with text reading '‘There’s a good argument that there should be a CERN for AI where governments collaborate to develop AI openly and robustly so we understand and trust the technology we are developing. That’s not going to happen if it’s developed behind closed doors’ Professor Michael Wooldridge'. To the left of the text there is a circular picture of Professor Michael Wooldridge. Beneath this, there are bright blue lines with dots attached that looks like a circuit board. At the bottom of the graphic there is white text reading '@compscioxford #CompSciOxford.

Professor Mike Wooldridge has commented in The Guardian on Meta’s superintelligence ambitions: ‘There’s a good argument that there should be a CERN for AI’. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Can large language models plan, have intentions, or deceive? Prof Vincent Conitzer @conitzer.bsky.social will explore this seemingly contradictory question on Tuesday 17 June at 4pm in the Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin Building on South Parks Road.

When they cross, maybe it’s just a sign you’ve found the perfect balance, Michael 🎉🎉🎉! The riding world is always ready to welcome a top scientist!

No doubt, the best professor in the world when it comes to riding horses — and what a beautiful, cozy scene!👍

I first spoke at the #TheAISummit in 2022 at a panel session promoting the CDEI Federated Learning Sandbox.

This year I'll be on the Headliners Stage on 11th of June talking about

strategic decision making in the age of AI.

Erlangen AI Hub, unlike the name suggests, is located in England. Join us for a cool conference at the intersection of math and ML.

Tomorrow, Tuesday 13th May I'll be on Radio 4 from 9 am for Life Scientific.

It will also be available online via BBC Sounds from the first broadcast:

Thank you @jimalkhalili.bsky.social and #bbcradio4 for inviting me!
