A very cool application of probabilistic inference to weakly supervised learning! Vinay was absolutely wonderful to work with! He's currently looking for a PhD position and will be going to NeurIPS to present a poster on our work, make sure to talk to him!

I had a fantastic time working with everyone on this paper, pushing the frontier of gradient estimation as probabilistic inference for graph rewiring! Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2310.02156

I'm very happy to share PyJuice, the culmination of years of scaling up probabilistic & logical reasoning for neural networks and LLMs, all in a PyTorch framework! #NeuroSymbolicAI

Yann LeCun SumTrader hey Yann, I think you missed works that show that logical reasoning can be *exactly* compiled into differentiable computational graphs, eg., proceedings.neurips.cc/paper_files/paโ€ฆ and when exact compilation is not easy there are plenty of approximate inference scheme that work like a charm!

Sadly I wonโ€™t be at #ICML2024 but be sure to stop by our poster tomorrow (Tuesday) 11:30-1:30 to talk to Anji about our work on how to exploit structured sparsity to perform *efficient* probabilistic reasoning!

Very interesting paper studying *why* entropy minimization works! Entropy minimization is near and dear to my heart since my first paper was on *Neuro-Symbolic Entropy-Regularization*, or how to minimize entropy when you have domain knowledge! (proceedings.mlr.press/v180/ahmed22a/โ€ฆ)

Check out our work on tokenization led by the amazing Renato Lui Geh! It turns out you should consider *many* ways of tokenizing a sentence, which surprisingly gives rise to a #neurosymbolic problem formulation!

I'll be at #EMNLP2024 next week presenting our work on tokenization alongside Renato Lui Geh! Looking forward to meeting everyone and commiserating over just how hard the problem of tokenization is!

Very excited to announce the Neurosymbolic Generative Models special track at NeSy 2025! Looking forward to all the submissions!
