That is, with AI we will have the possibility of awakening human potential on a global scale.

Imagine a 10-year-old girl, anywhere in the world, without access to the best mathematicians… using these tools every day, learning, asking questions, understanding. If she keeps her curiosity alive, she could reach a PhD-level understanding in just a few years.

Several reports have come out from brilliant mathematicians describing how GPT-5 has managed to solve problems that were once considered almost impossible — with just a bit of human guidance and context.

That fills me with excitement.

Meta-Learning Fourier Neural Operators for Hessian Inversion and Enhanced Variational Data Assimilation Data assimilation (DA) is crucial for enhancing solutions to partial differential equations (PDEs), such as those in numerical weather prediction, by optimizing initial conditions using observational ...

🚨 New paper accepted at #NeurIPS2025 #ML4Phys!

We propose Meta-Learning Fourier Neural Operators to approximate inverse Hessians for variational data assimilation.

Authors with accepted papers are encouraged to indicate if they prefer to present these papers in Mexico City. We now have 187 papers confirmed to be presented at Mexico, with new sign-ups daily. As our cap is 300 papers, first-come-first-serve, we encourage authors to secure their slot now.

I noticed today that PyPI now (not sure for how long) has a filtering option when you look at the distributions of packages. That's a nice quality of life improvement.

Along the way, I was fortunate to find mentors including my thesis advisor Dr Carlos Valero and Dra Berta Gamboa, among many people. They didn’t just guide my professional background- they believed in me, mentored me, and pushed me to pursue excellence.

going with my mom to sell cheese cake at school to cover additional expenses in colleague during my studies.Other days, we were harvesting corn and selling it To local stores that made tortillas. I majored in mathematics in one of the best centers of math research in Latin America. I had the support

2/4 Few years ago, my husband and I came to the US to work. We didnt speak perfect English, but we believed in the promise of the American dream that with hard work and love for this country, we could build great things. Some of my earliest memories when doing my studies in Mexico are

El modelo estándar en la teoría de cuerdas - La Ciencia de la Mula Francis La gran crítica a la teoría de cuerdas es que no es una teoría predictiva. Nuestro universo no contiene cuerdas, luego está en un estado de vacío para la teoría […]

Back to 2015, I was on my way to become a theoretical physicist.

ggplot2 4.0.0 A new major version of ggplot2 has been released on CRAN. Find out what is new here.

I am beyond excited to announce that ggplot2 4.0.0 has just landed on CRAN.

It's not every day we have a new major #ggplot2 release but it is a fitting 18 year birthday present for the package.

Get an overview of the release in this blog post and be on the lookout for more in-depth posts #rstats

So then I am happy to have G Box quote back

The first time I encountered G Box’s timeless words was during my best friend Vero’s dissertation in statistics to major in Math at CIMAT.
I remember it with a smile—she presented her model with elegance, and in closing, citing G Box, saying that her creation was wrong (as all models) but useful.

Quarto (R): uw-madison-dsi.github.io/open_source_... from my colleague @ibaumann.bsky.social

This site is a companion to the excellent work of my colleague @ibaumann, who developed the Quarto (R) version of our Open Source Survey results. Building on that effort, we now also provide a MyST (Python) version. Together, we make the survey results accessible to both R and Python communities.

Honored to have participated in this amazing event and meet great people and their work in the data science field.

I have not much time to watch sports games now, but I still remember the remarkable match in 2018 when Naomi defeated the great Serena Williams in such a vibrant game. Since then, I’ve been following her journey, such an inspiring woman.
