Aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty are clear-cut concepts, right? ... right? 😵‍💫In our new ICLR blogpost we let different schools of thought speak and contradict each other, and revisit chatbots where “the character of aleatory ‘transforms’ into epistemic” iclr-blogposts.github.io/2025/blog/reex…

This is such an important piece !!! People often just confuse AL with Data Selection, filtering or Augmentation while it’s clearly not!

When I realized how dangerous the current agency-driven AI trajectory could be for future generations, I knew I had to do all I could to make AI safer. I recently shared this personal experience, and outlined the scientific solution I envision TED Talks⤵️ ted.com/talks/yoshua_b…

At the end of my PhD, I reflected on uncertainty quantification research, and what might change with chatbots and LLM agents. This was now accepted as position paper @ICML. Some of those future topics are already picking up pace, so have an evening read ☕ arxiv.org/abs/2505.22655

Wrapped up my research internship at Google AI 🎉 Grateful for the mentorship of Mercy Nyamewaa Asiedu, Ph.D and the amazing team I worked with. The work led to a patent and a forthcoming paper. Stay tuned. Grateful too for the friends and fun along the way 🤍 The last day was lots of fun 🤩

🎉 Excited to share that our paper “Evaluating the Behavior of Small Language Models in Answering Binary Questions” will be presented at @ IJCAI 2025! We investigate how small LMs like Phi-3.5-mini, Mistral-7B, and LLaMA-3.2 respond to binary (True/False) questions, across

This is a global phenomenon. With AI, chatbots and brainrot we are essentially going to a situation where anything with any significant cognitive load is going to be offloaded to machines. If you wish to improve your cognitive load capabilities then I suggest the following: 1.
