Concrete Cosmos, a Symbiosis short film created by @FlatironInst researcher Adrian Bayer and filmmaker Adonis Williams, reveals the surprising parallels between the structure of the deep universe and daily life on Earth. Watch full film: https://t.co/OHQi9sBzjl

Researchers at the @FlatironInst were skeptical about a daunting quantum physics problem that was supposedly only solvable by quantum computers, so they set out to solve it on a classical computer. And thanks to mathematical structures called tensor networks, they did: https://t.co/cmxw4t7fD8

On the largest observable scales, the universe looks nearly the same in every direction. A new paper from Simons Foundation president @DavidSpergel and colleagues proposes initial conditions for the beginning of our universe that could explain this cosmic puzzle: https://t.co/idzMctvfk9 #science #astrophysics

We’re delighted to announce our workshop on the latest open-source tools for neural data analysis.
We have great speakers from UCL & the University of Edinburgh.
Many thanks to everyone involved in organising the workshop @NinaMilo_Lab @AdrianDu_ and the support from @DNS_UOM .

In our recent paper, https://t.co/TULfZsW8ZN, @maxisi, @farrwill, and I looked to see if we can see hints of memory in the whole population of gravitational wave signals observed by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detectors using a fancy technique known as "hierarchical inference". 6/13

Lacunae, a short film created by @FlatironInst researcher Lukas Devos and filmmaker Danya Abt, explores translation as a process of selection and loss using digital video noise, erasure poetry and a riddle translated across multiple languages.

Diffusion models are powerful priors for linear inverse problems, but what about explicit access to the underlying posterior density? Happy to share our ICML 2026 paper; this project started during my internship at @FlatironInst with amazing hosts @FlorentinGuth @EeroSimoncelli

[Dmitri "Mitya" @chklovskii]

What do control theory and neuroscience have in common? Shared origins in cybernetics — and, lately, “poor cousin” status next to ML. To reconnect them, we’ve been organizing workshops at this interface, most recently at the Flatiron Institute. Thanks to all who joined!
