NeSy 2025 Conference @nesyconf.org · 29d

We're glad to announce the NeSy 2025 Test of Time award for "Probabilistic Inference Modulo Theories"!

🏆Rodrigo de Salvo Braz was here to accept the award.

This is groundwork for recent NeSy approaches like DeepSeaProbLog and the probabilistic algebraic layer.

Today we have @lennertds.bsky.social from KU Leuven teaching us how to adapt NeSy methods to deal with sequential problems 🚀

Super interesting topic combining DL + NeSy + HMMs! Keep an eye on Lennert's future works!

Have you thought that in computer memory model weights are given in terms of discrete values in any case. Thus, why not do probabilistic inference on the discrete (quantized) parameters. @trappmartin.bsky.social is presenting our work at #AABI2025 today. [1/3]

great to have David Watson (dswatson.github.io) visiting us today and talking about #trustworthy #AI #ML for tabular data with #trees and #circuits

with connections to #generative modeling, #causality and #fast inference!

The AAAI Workshop on Connecting Low-Rank Representations in AI

april-tools.github.io

Lorenzo Loconte @loreloc.bsky.social · Mar 4

The last speaker of the workshop is Alexandros Georgiou, who is giving an introduction to polynomial networks and equivariant tensor network architecture, as well as how to implement them.

Lorenzo Loconte @loreloc.bsky.social · Mar 4

After lunch break, Andrew G. Wilson (@andrewgwils.bsky.social) is now giving his presentation on the importance of linear algebra structures in ML, as well as on how to navigate such structures in practice.

Lorenzo Loconte @loreloc.bsky.social · Mar 4

After Nadav it is now the turn of Guillaume Rabusseau, who is joining us online

Guillaume guides us through interesting expressiveness relationships of families of RNNs that are parameterized through tensor factorizations techniques

Lorenzo Loconte @loreloc.bsky.social · Mar 4

Live from the CoLoRAI workshop at AAAI
(april-tools.github.io/colorai/)

Nadav Cohen is now giving his talk on "What Makes Data Suitable for Deep Learning?"

Tools from quantum physics are shown to be useful in building more expressive deep learning models by changing the data distribution.

We all know backpropagation can calculate gradients, but it can do much more than that!

Come to my #AAAI2025 oral tomorrow (11:45, Room 119B) to learn more.

We are going to present our poster "Sum of Squares Circuits" at AAAI in Philadelphia today

Hall E 12:30pm-14:00pm poster #840

We trace expressiveness connections of different types of additive and subtractive deep mixture models and tensor networks

Are you at AAAI in Philadelphia and interested about #tensor-factorizations or #circuits or even both?

Then join us today at our tutorial: "From tensor factorizations to circuits (and back!)"

Right, but what are Causal NFs again? In case you missed our NeurIPS 2023 Oral, Causal NFs are Deep Learning models that learn causal systems (SCMs) while having *theoretical guarantees*!

In short, you can accurately use them for causal inference tasks 🧪

Causal normalizing flows: from theory to practice

In this work, we deepen on the use of normalizing flows for causal reasoning. Specifically, we first leverage recent results on non-linear ICA to show that causal models are identifiable from observat...

Have you ever been curious to try Causal Normalizing Flows for your project but found them intimidating? Say no more 😜

I just released a small library to easily implement and use causal-flows:

Happy to see our work at TMLR!

We systematically show the relationships between two apparently different fields: tensor factorizations and circuits, and how bridging the two enables us to exchange results, research opportunitie in ML, and practical implementation solutions.

Interested in estimating posterior predictives in Bayesian inference? Really want to know if your approximate inference "is working"?
Come to our poster at the NeurIPS BDU workshop on Saturday - see TL;DR below.

I wanted to make my first post about a project close to my heart. Linear algebra is an underappreciated foundation for machine learning. Our new framework CoLA (Compositional Linear Algebra) exploits algebraic structure arising from modelling assumptions for significant computational savings! 1/4
