Excited to present “Contrastive Training of Complex-valued Autoencoders for Object Discovery“ at #NeurIPS2023. TL;DR -- We introduce architecture changes and a new contrastive training objective that greatly improve the state-of-the-art synchrony-based model. Explainer thread 👇:

Excited to announce the 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 (2 papers) and 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 (2 more papers) for our NeurIPS workshop R0-FoMo: Robustness of Few-shot & Zero-shot Learning in Foundation Models 🎉 Please join us in congratulating the authors 👏

It was great to be part of this work and to present it at the #NeurIPS23 R0-FoMo workshop. Congrats to Mingchen Zhuge, Dylan R. Ashley, and all the other authors!

Check out our most recent work!

Recently, I had the pleasure of giving a talk at Microsoft Research Asia in Beijing on 'Learning to Extract Information from Neural Networks.' Met lots of brilliant minds there! #MSFTResearch

Can neural networks with 5000 layers improve long-term planning? 🤖 Check out our latest research with Jürgen Schmidhuber, Dylan R. Ashley, and team: arxiv.org/abs/2406.08404 #AI #DeepLearning #RL

🚀Want to cut inference times by up to 50% and save money when using Transformer/CNN/Consistency-based diffusion models? Check out our latest work on Faster Diffusion Through Temporal Attention Decomposition led by Haozhe Liu, featuring Jürgen Schmidhuber. Paper:

Heading to #ICML2024 for a busy week with 3 posters and 2 oral presentations. If you’re interested in discussing collaborations, visiting, or hiring opportunities at Artificial Intelligence @ KAUST with Jürgen Schmidhuber, feel free to connect!

Our paper, "Scaling Value Iteration Networks to 5000 Layers for Extreme Long-Term Planning," was accepted at #EWRL. Congratulations to Yuhui Wang and the team! Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2406.08404 #AI #DeepLearning #RL

🚀 Overdue launch of my personal website faccio.ai! Check out my latest AI projects. I would like to thank my ancestors for giving me a last name that means "I make" in Italian. So, yes, I make #AI 🤖

Had a great time presenting at #ICML2024 alongside Vincent Herrmann & Louis Kirsch. But the true highlight was Jürgen Schmidhuber himself capturing our moments on camera! #AI #DeepLearning

I had an amazing time in Riyadh meeting with many industrial partners and presenting our recent advancements! #GlobalAISummit #GainSummit

If you are interested in using AI for scientific discovery, this project might be perfect for you!

I'm thrilled to announce that I'm joining the Discovery team at Google DeepMind in London as a Senior Research Scientist starting this January! It's incredible what the team has achieved in the past decade and I am so looking forward towards more scientific discoveries with AI.

If you are working on World Models, you should definitely submit your paper to our #ICLR2025 workshop!

I'm in Singapore for #ICLR2025! DM me if you’d like to meet and chat about Creativity and Curiosity in AI, AGI, Agents, or exciting opportunities at Google DeepMind. You might even get a free Italian coffee ☕️ :)
