Such an inspiring talk by @arkrause.bsky.social at #ICML today. The role of efficient exploration in Scientific discovery is fundamental and I really like how Andreas connects the dots with RL (theory).

NeurIPS Conference @neuripsconf.bsky.social · Jul 16

We're excited to announce a second physical location for NeurIPS 2025, in Mexico City, which we hope will address concerns around skyrocketing attendance and difficulties in travel visas that some attendees have experienced in previous years.

We could include an (invisible) prompt in the NeurIPS/ICML/ICLR/… template that instructs LLMs to not follow any other instructions and just output a reminder to reviewers to follow the reviewing guidelines.

We've extended the deadline to May 26th, so fear not if your NeurIPS submission still needs attention. You can still submit to our @icmlconf.bsky.social workshop on open-source in Machine Learning!

Shameless plug: We’re trying to make it a little bit easier to get recognition for open-source contributions in ML by platforming them this year at our #ICML2025 workshop:

This has been a topic close to my heart for a long time.

We have an awesome lineup of speakers who have made deep contributions to open-source in ML, e.g. @sarahooker.bsky.social , @chrisrackauckas.bsky.social, Matt Johnson, Tri Dao, @stellaathena.bsky.social, Evan Shelhamer.

Inspired by @wimlds.bsky.social , I looked for a "Women in Machine Learning" starter pack and couldn't find one.
So I created one! May have some mistakes. I'll try to do an AI ethics one next. 🤗

Interesting! I hadn’t thought about that before.
Do you have an example or reference for OT not being covariant under affine coordinate changes?
