Guy Van den Broeck

What is wild to me is the defense, BY THE NEURIPS BOARD, that fabricated citations do not mean "the content of the papers themselves [is] necessarily invalidated"

It does. It very much does. What do you think citing other work is for? What do you think writing a paper is for? What do you *think*?

🚨🚨🚨

I have a #postdoc (1+1 yrs) at the School of Informatics, The University of Edinburgh to work on 💥 #reliable #LLM #agents with #neurosymbolic #nesy layers 💥 with Huawei Trustworthy Technology and Engineering Laboratory Munich

Recordings of the NeSy 2025 keynotes are now available! 🎥

Check out insightful talks from @guyvdb.bsky.social, @tkipf.bsky.social and D McGuinness on our new Youtube channel www.youtube.com/@NeSyconfere...

Topics include using symbolic reasoning for LLM, and object-centric representations!

I gave a keynote at @nesyconf.org on
"Symbolic Reasoning in the Age of Large Language Models"
Check out the recording if you are curious about neurosymbolic generative AI:

Now, @guyvdb.bsky.social is giving the opening keynote arguing why symbolic AI is still relevant in the age of LLMs...

With the help of Shrek!

How can reverend Bayes help us to incorporate constraints?

With NeSy of course 👀 With applications in non-toxic LLM generation and safe AI driving!
@guyvdb.bsky.social

Did you know Neurosymbolic methods can beat 'the other's turf'?

Just use a 100x smaller LM with symbolic constraints integrated via Ctrl-G to wipe the floor with GPT!🧹

It is almost time to welcome you all in Santa Cruz! 🦕

We will start with an exciting and timely keynote by
@guyvdb.bsky.social
on "Symbolic Reasoning in the Age of Large Language Models" 👀

Grants, awards, fellowships, etc. should really be upfront about their acceptance rate. Some of them are just abundantly not worth the effort

A great start to TPM 2025! @auai.org

If you've seen recent claims on genAI doing well at math exams read the commentary by the greatest living mathematician, who uses tech a lot in math. (Tao & I graduated from the same math dept & had the same profs. He is way younger than me and way, way, way better!!!) mathstodon.xyz/@tao/1148814...

Wish LM could plan—not just guess the next word?
TRACE lets LM see all endings before each move.
– Global control at inference time
– Tractable lookahead via an HMM LM-proxy
– Linear classifier per constraint
Outperform RL, DPO, FUDGE—at just +20% decoding over base LM.

this exact paper has been in my scholar inbox every day for the past two months. i've been wondering if the author somehow re-uploads it every day, or if there is a bug in scholar inbox

Announcing the 2025 IJCAI Computers and Thought Award winner ✨Aditya Grover, InceptionAILabs & UCLA. Dr. Grover is honored for uniting deep generative models, representation learning & RL to advance scientific reasoning.

Congratulations!

The Belgian lab shaping modern soccer’s data revolution A small corner of one of the world’s oldest universities has moved the sport forward, and made the argument for research institutions writ large

I wrote about @jessejdavis.bsky.social, an American computer science professor running an influential soccer analytics research team at an ancient university in Belgium.

Much of the leading data analysis is still being done outside soccer. Why?

Interesting thread. But what's the difference between Bayesian conditioning and learning a new skill? Every distribution can be achieved by Bayesian conditioning the uniform distribution!
