AI is moving so fast, that is an exciting journey, but also exhausting for researchers to learn so as to keep up with the trend.

Excited about our new ICML paper on generalization theory regarding information bottleneck (IB) arxiv.org/abs/2305.18887! We close up some conjectures regarding how IB affects representation learning and generalization behaviors of NN.

In 2021, Abel went to Wigderson (TCS); In 2024, Wolf went to Shamir (crypto)... I won't be surprised if someday it becomes a norm that Fields often goes to applied mathematicians.

This is the most scaling-pilled project I've ever been part of, and the team really cooked. TL;DR: With RL and inference scaling, Gemini perfectly solved 5 out of 6 problems, reaching a gold medal in IMO '25, all within the time constraints of 4.5hr.

I heard some NeurIPS ACs are rejecting papers with all positive reviews (5444) just to control acceptance rates, which is wrong. We had a similar AAAI experience years ago: all positive reviews 7776 rejected because of results reported as 0.84 instead of 84%. They didn't really
