God, that was hard to bear. Students told a physics town hall that grad schools have rescinded admission. NSF proposals are censored for words like “bias,” even when the meaning is technical. Physics curricula are being banned by school districts for encouraging girls. #APSGlobalSummit2025 #APSMarch

You think Jacobian and Hessian matrices are prohibitively expensive to compute on your problem? Our latest preprint with @gdalle.bsky.social might change your mind! arxiv.org/abs/2501.17737 🧵1/8

Figure comparing automatic differentiation (AD) and automatic sparse differentiation (ASD).

(a) Given a function f, AD backends return a function computing vector-Jacobian products (VJPs). (b) Standard AD computes Jacobians row-by-row by evaluating VJPs with all standard basis vectors. (c) ASD reduces the number of VJP evaluations by first detecting a sparsity pattern of non-zero values, coloring orthogonal rows in the pattern and simultaneously evaluating VJPs of orthogonal rows. The concepts shown in this figure directly translate to forward-mode, which computes Jacobians column-by-column instead of row-by-row.

The NIH actions go far beyond the DEI crackdown. All external advisory meetings are canceled, in ones that were in progress today. That means that NIH cannot issue new grants, as external review is required by law. It's a big deal. See, e.g. www.science.org/content/arti...

Hello diffusion pros. I want to understand how one goes from Langevin dynamics to the fokker-planck equation. I mean in the statistical mechanics sense. Even better if this is generalized to other spaces (such as the torus). Anyone got a recommendation for me?
