I will never forget her elegant book on number theory, co-authored w/ Roya Beheshti. As I was preparing for the Math Olympiad, that book became a source of deep inspiration. It wasn't just the mathematics—it was the clarity of thought. That experience sparked in me a lasting passion for mathematics.

When AI gets a trio of capabilities — Intelligence, Affordances (the capacity to act) and Self (agency) — it can become dangerous, said @yoshuabengio.bsky.social during his Richard M. Karp Distinguished Lecture at the Simons Institute. simons.berkeley.edu/events/super...

I would submit a paper if I could present it online/recorded video.

FYI, in Palestine you cannot say "down with Hamas". If you don't trust my words, just go to Palestine and try! You'll see the consequences before you get back to your place.

The number of uncrossings is still bdd, so, no worries!

Here's a very simple calculation showing that adding a bit of randomization can make numerical integration better even in the one-dimensional setting.

Thank you for letting me know! He is a genius and I met him once in a probability seminar.

Our method, Perfect Erasure Functions (PEF), erases concepts perfectly from LLM representations. We analytically derive PEF w/o parameter estimation. PEFs achieve pareto optimal erasure-utility tradeoff backed w/ theoretical guarantees. #AISTATS2025 🧵

Great interview in which Ewin Tang describes how she shook the quantum world at age 18.

I was wondering if IAS hires any post docs in probability theory🤔

Why is an IMO problem used as a reference? Why don't they try solving an open, long-standing problem in mathematics or other disciplines?

Can we truly understand by counting? - Hugo Duminil-Copin
YouTube video by Oxford Mathematics Can we truly understand by counting? - Hugo Duminil-Copin

Hello world! let's start with some interesting stuff. A talk by Hugo Duminil-Copin at Oxford Math:

Key observation: "Much more than counting, something that unifies mathematics is the quest for symmetries."
