Anyone interested in getting some ML research experience have a look at the LOGML school! I’ll be hosting a project studying Cayley graphs for various groups, and lots of other exciting options available…

New paper out today, analysing language-like representations of 3-manifold triangulations (IsoSigs), generated via Pachner graphs - also studied with network science methods!

New techniques, new observations, and new conjectures...

Proud to be posting my 20th research paper: 🥳
Approximating Hodge formulas to allow generation of higher transverse weight systems (i.e. CY5 & CY6-folds)

Constructing new topologies, raising new conjectures, and machine learning new invariants of Calabi-Yau links -- check out our latest paper, lots of exciting results ! https://t.co/9e807SC1xU

In a new paper, LIMS scientists discover new Calabi-Yau manifolds by generating reflexive polytopes via a genetic algorithm. Calculating the normal forms for 5D polytopes reveals that many do not exist in current datasets. @ElliHeyes @YangHuiHe1 @edghirst https://t.co/ymOzA11YLZ

@SharkTrust are doing great work to set sustainable fishing limits for sharks and rays...

[the finite physicist @FinitePhysicist]

it would be a lot more accurate to call it computational statistics than machine learning or artificial intelligence

Got some building to do...

James Hirst, 16, got an incredible 13 A*s, an A** and an A. Well done! He said: "I just can't believe it" #GCSEEssex
