Geoff Hinton weighs in on the past and potential of AI - CBS News cbsnews.com/news/godfather…

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.

Congratulations, Rich!! It is really my fortune to work with such a brilliant mind.

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.

I guess this announcement is a bit (or super) late. I am on the 2023-2024 faculty job market for CS and data science!! Here is my humble homepage: zhundeng.org/home

Mathematics will go through a revolution by AI. It is certain and not very far away.

Excited to announce that I will be joining the Department of Computer Science UNC Computer Science at UNC-Chapel Hill UNC-Chapel Hill starting from Spring 2025. 📢I am actively seeking students for Ph.D. positions (Spring/Fall 2025) and interns. RT appreciated.

Just found out Jiaoyang has got the sloan research fellowship! Working with Jiaoyang was definitely one of the best experiences I had.

Deadline extended to Sept 27th! 🥳 Looking forward to seeing your submissions to the Workshop on Statistical Frontiers in LLMs and Foundation Models! (Also: this is not just stat+LLMs! Feel free to interpret the call broadly.)

APPLY: TENURE-TRACK/TEACHING FACULTY. Research areas include but not limited to: ML, NLP, vision, graphics, systems, bioinformatics, security, medical imaging, robotics, RT systems, AR/VR. Join our team—committed to research, teaching, and collaboration. ➡️cs.unc.edu/faculty-hiring/

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.

Our great Prof. Richard Zemel is leading the costume charge by example Zemel Group

UNC CS is hiring. We have multiple positions this year and will continue accepting applications for full consideration, feel free to DM/email me/us if you have any questions.

Warm welcome Avi!!

Excited to introduce our new work at ICML 2025: 1. Conformal Risk Control for LLM Alignment, arxiv.org/pdf/2502.20285 with Lihua Lei 2. Auto-Eval for Quantile-Based Risk Measures arxiv.org/pdf/2507.05220 with Zemel Group tom zollo Please take a look if interested!

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 tested ChatGPT 5 and Grok 4 with same critical prompts. The results will blow your mind. ChatGPT 5 Vs. Grok 4 (Video demos are included)

NeurIPS Conference Hsuan-Tien Lin Get ready to have your well-reviewed NeurIPS rejected for perplexing reasons. We are doing this to ourselves!

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
