Congratulations to everyone who got their @neuripsconf.bsky.social papers accepted 🎉🎉🎉

At #EurIPS we are looking forward to welcoming presentations of all accepted NeurIPS papers, including a new “Salon des Refusés” track for papers which were rejected due to space constraints!

« Can you train a standard classifier without labels ? » was the question we tried to investigate in this survey. Very happy to see @louisohl.bsky.social ‘s final PhD projet published in ACM CSUR!

Great news: our "Tutorial on discriminative clustering and mutual information" got upgraded from preprint to ACM Computing Surveys publication! (with @pamattei.bsky.social and Frédéric Precioso).

It is available on open access here: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

To cluster data is to separate samples into distinctive groups that should ideally have some cohesive properties. Today, numerous clustering algorithms exist, and their differences lie essentially in ...

Estimating a set’s size from uniform (or o/w well-defined) samples is a classical problem, with two well-studied extremes: min structure (birthday problem), max structure (German tank problem). A framework interpolating between them, amongst other things:

Estimating the size of a set using cascading exclusion

Let $S$ be a finite set, and $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ an i.i.d. uniform sample from $S$. To estimate the size $|S|$, without further structure, one can wait for repeats and use the birthday problem. This requ...

Alright, people, let's be honest: GenAI systems are everywhere, and figuring out whether they're any good is a total mess. Should we use them? Where? How? Do they need a total overhaul?

The first talk of the second day was also Bayesian! @julyanarbel.bsky.social gave a nice overview of Bayesian deep learning.

The Journées de Statistique of the @statfr.bsky.social is one of my favorite conferences! It started with the Le Cam award being given to Judith Rousseau for her work on Bayesian asymptotics. Judith talked about semiparametric Bernstein-von Mises theorems and her new love for the Bayesian bootstrap.
