Excited to be serving as Program co-Chair of UAI 2026 with Ema Perkovic! We are busy working on facilitating an excellent program.

In my unbiased opinion UAI is an ideal venue at the intersection of stats & CS: good size, good science, good vibes.

Please submit your work!

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

Fear notπŸ’ͺ🏻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!

New Realtime Techpocalypse article! How much wealth does Musk have? He earned $203B in 2024. If the height of Mount Everest represents this quantity, how tall would $50k stand in comparison? The answer is that $50k would amount to the size of a single flea. THAT'S IT! Short 🧡

a huge thanks to @rmassidda.it who not only flawlessly managed to update the #UAI2025 website, but also wrote an amazing pipeline (with docker!) from scratch to do so.

All future publicity chairs will own Riccardo!
