"Learning (Approximately) Equivariant Networks via Constrained Optimization" will be an Oral 🗣️ at NeurIPS! (w/ @Mniepert & @lfochamon) ACE goes beyond fixed equivariance, augmentations, and regularizers by learning from data when to enforce symmetry and when to break it. 🧵2/9

I was starting to wonder if I was getting rusty, it's been a while since I received one of these. Thanks for the recognition, @icmlconf! 🫡

@PMinervini I'm wondering how much of this is due to the language barrier for international employees/founders v.s. other more structural reasons like proximity to good universities or a different VC culture from the rest of Europe.

I respect that @iclr_conf had to respond to the OR leak, but I disagree with resetting scores. Many students worked hard on rebuttals and improved their papers in good faith. I hope the organizers reconsider and revert the reset. If you agree, feel free to retweet.

@kchonyc @orf_bnw Also happened to me yesterday with Nano Banana. ChatGPT managed to generate one with a transparent background, but the Nano Banana one was nicer.

@Mniepert @lfochamon ChronoGraph (w/ A. Lutu, I. Pintilie & @ilarele) is a real-world dataset of microservice telemetry that links multivariate time series with a dependency graph and incident labels, enabling evaluation of forecasting and anomaly detection methods under propagation effects.

@Mniepert @lfochamon Inspired by JEPA, C-FREE (w/ B. Ariguib & @mniepert) uses a predictive objective over egonets spanning 2D and 3D graphs, avoiding negatives, reconstructions, and augmentations. This simple multimodal design delivers strong results from low- to large-scale regimes. 🔬 🧵6/9

Looking forward to #NeurIPS next week! I’m presenting three works across equivariant learning, molecular graph pretraining, and real-world graph-based time series:
• ACE (NeurIPS Oral)
• C-FREE (NPGML Poster)
• ChronoGraph (BERT2S Oral)

@PetarV_93 Btw, did you know that the studio hired Lorien Testard (main composer) because they just stumbled upon his work on some random forum? :) Best outcome for everyone involved.
