Want to know more about this connection between statistical physics and machine learning that appear in #NobelPrize2024 ? Good news! @zdeborova and myself (and the great @VittorioErba this year) teach courses about this in @EPFL!

So excited to share what the team and I have been working on these last months! #AlphaCode 2 is powered by Gemini and performs better than 85% of competition participants in 12 contests on Codeforces! More details at https://t.co/5D1B6yYVJG @GoogleDeepMind

[Rémi Leblond @RemiLeblond]

We’re looking for a great research scientist/engineer to bolster the LLM contingent in @GoogleDeepMind’s Paris office. If you want to build on our successes in the domain (#chinchilla, #AlphaCode…), and see what Gemini is capable of, DM me! 🗼

Nobel: "Parisi's discoveries make it possible to understand and describe many different and apparently entirely random complex materials and phenomena, not only in physics but also in other, very different areas, such as mathematics, biology, neuroscience and machine learning."

[Demis Hassabis @demishassabis]

Last year we presented #AlphaFold v2 which predicts 3D structures of proteins down to atomic accuracy. Today we’re proud to share the methods in @Nature w/open source code. Excited to see the research this enables. More very soon!

Looking for a job in a beautiful location? You have a Phd in maths, in machine learning, or in statistical physics?

I am looking for talented postdocs to join my new lab IdePHICS, in EPFL in Lausanne. More details here:

@adjiboussodieng @Princeton @PrincetonCS @Forbes Congratulations Adji!!

[Professor Sandra Lapointe (ACCOUNT PAUSED) @mslapointe]

Paris ENS is France’s top school and agregation there is highly competitive. This year, due to COVID they cancelled the orals, only had the (anonymous) written exam. As a result ~80% of successful candidates were women. 8-0. Eighty.

Women usually represent ~40% of ENS agrégés

[Alaa Saade @saade_alaa]

@KrzakalaF @alicecoucke Of course vim!!

[Krzakala Florent @KrzakalaF]

Can we improve on naive contact tracing and estimate the probability of infection for each individual using probabilistic technics? Yes, we can!

@zdeborova will present today our results at the ELLIS workshop today at 2:55pm

1/ LOCKDOWN WORKS!

The death rate in Italy is starting to deviate from exponential growth, as shown by the physicist Federico Ricci-Tersenghi (see his Facebook page).

We must do the same everywhere in Europe NOW to save lives !

Really excited for #NeurIPS2019 next week and to present our spotlight on credit assignment :)

https://t.co/EQ2j5nhpBD

tl;dr We can rewrite value functions in terms of a hindsight quantity that explicitly captures credit assignment and get a whole new family of RL algs! 🥳

Le Monde : Enrico Fermi serait un des trois "lauréats du Nobel qui ne le méritaient pas vraiment". Une affirmation qui révèle légèreté et incompetence sur un héros de la physique moderne. Pourquoi des articles de ce gendre?

We're excited to release OpenSpiel: a framework for reinforcement learning in games. It contains over 25 games, and 20 algorithms, including tools for visualisation and evaluation.

Happy to see part of my PhD work with my former group at @ENS_ULM now on arxiv! It's all about regularization for variational inference with graphical models.

Congrats to @zdeborova for the well-deserved "Prix Irène Joliot Curie" from the ministry of research & Academy of Sciences for her works on statistical physics and computer science.
This is an amazing video presenting Lenka and her research (in French)

Grateful to the Council of Europe for hosting me to discuss #AI and gender bias as part of the Gender Mainstreaming team meeting. Thank you @CecileGreboval & Caterina Bolognese for the invitation, @YannickMeneceur and everyone present for the interesting discussion! @CoE #CoE4AI

[Alice Coucke @alicecoucke]

À la @gaitelyrique à Paris ce samedi, j'aurai la chance de participer à une table ronde avec @AudeBer, Peggy Pierrot et @ElisaBraun pour comprendre comment rendre l'IA plus inclusive dans le cadre de l'expo #ComputerGrrrls! Toutes les infos ci-dessous:

(1/7) So apparently some (I hope very few) people online are using the fact that I am the primary developer of the eht-imaging software library (https://t.co/n7djw1r9hY) to launch awful and sexist attacks on my colleague and friend Katie Bouman. Stop.
