The one I haven't decoded yet is why it would say bee in Italian, maybe it was a warning.

Then, 5 minutes before the ICLR deadline, it surprised me with motivation in Greek (Ela! means Come on!).

The best feature of overleaf is the subliminal messages it produces by choosing how to order the author tiles.

It was a long day, and Overleaf was like, maybe you should go to the pub!

Tiles for three authors on Overleaf that spell out "ALE", as in beer.

It's been a while, but I am happy to share that my PhD dissertation is finally available online! 🎉

Not only it contains most of my work, but there is plenty of brand new content:

At #ACL2025NLP and on the job market (NLP + AI Safety) 💼

It's great to see growing interest in safety/alignment, but we often miss the social context.

Come to our @woahworkshop.bsky.social Friday to dive deeper into safe safety research!

Next week I will be in 🌴 Rio 🌴 attending (and helping organizing) UAI 2025 and TPM 2025.

If you are also attending and want to talk science (e.g. probabilistic generative models, causality, multi-objective machine learning, etc) or just hang out, not everything is work, feel free to reach me out!

☀️ I will be in Edinburgh this summer (Jun-Aug) at @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social, visiting the group of Antonio Vergari (@nolovedeeplearning.bsky.social) to work on #neurosymbolic #AI and #probabilistic #ML

If you are around and want to chat about these topics, let's meet for coffee!

🚀 By *learning* to compress the KV cache in Transformer LLMs, we can generate more tokens for the same compute budget.

This unlocks *inference-time hyper-scaling*

For the same runtime or memory load, we can boost LLM accuracy by pushing reasoning even further!
