If you made it this far, you're probably really into constraint-aware models 😄

Don’t miss the new paper by @nolovedeeplearning.bsky.social et al!
👉https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.19466

It proposes a probabilistic layer ensuring satisfaction of algebraic constraints over continuous variables—cool stuff!
