I'm co-organizing a workshop on Hypothesis Testing at ICML (Seoul, in July): testing.ml There's been a ton of cool recent work in this area, but there hasn't been (afaik) an ML-venue workshop about it in a decade+. ML methods for testing, testing hypotheses about ML, it's all here!

Come join us in a great department in a great city! I'm not on the search committee, but feel free to be in touch if you have any questions or anything.

As things get ever worse in the UK and the US releases sloppy political “reviews” of bad science (magnified by the NYT/Atlantic/etc), a good reminder for anyone who has “concerns” about trans youth care. (Canada seems okay federally for now, but AB/SK are going in v bad directions.)

AI Scientist making the funniest possible citation mistake (Goodfellow instead of Schmidhuber)
Screenshot of a slide:
AI Scientists still suffer from hallucinations

“We use an LSTM-based neural network (Goodfellow et al. 2016)” is highlighted, with the comment “Should be Hochreiter and Scmidhuber”

Join us tomorrow for our official social at #ICLR2025 on Saturday, 04/26, 5:00 - 6:30 pm in the GHJ room ("hidden" between Hall 2 and 3)! We can’t wait to see you all and to mingle! After the social ends, we will also set out for an unofficial bar tour of downtown Singapore.

Thrilled to announce that Joshua’s paper won one of three Outstanding Paper awards at ICLR. Come to the poster on Friday afternoon (#376 in Hall 3) or the talk on Saturday (4:30 in Hall 1), and while you’re at it snag him for a postdoc!

📢Curious why your LLM behaves strangely after long SFT or DPO? We offer a fresh perspective—consider doing a "force analysis" on your model’s behavior. Check out our #ICLR2025 Oral paper: Learning Dynamics of LLM Finetuning! (0/12)

From the intro to a paper I'm reading: "Theorem 3 is proven in Section 4 and Theorem 4 is proven in Section 3." 😔

What happens when models, like LLMs, learn from each other across multiple generations? @joshuaren.bsky.social + collaborators extend a cogsci framework called Bayesian iterated learning to think about, and avoid, pitfalls. #NeurIPS2024 poster #3305, Friday 11-2 (Also, snag him for a postdoc 😇)

This analysis of how attention scores work in graph transformers was pretty surprising to me, and enabled the rest of this paper (and hopefully more!). Come check out the poster soon!

As in Tennessee, this ban does not apply to cis children, because the drugs themselves are not a safety hazard. The only thing at risk is a society’s discomfort with allowing young people to make their own decisions about their own bodies.

Graph Transformers (GTs) can handle long-range dependencies and resolve information bottlenecks, but they’re computationally expensive. Our new model, Spexphormer, helps scale them to much larger graphs – check it out at NeurIPS next week, or the preview here! [1/13] #NeurIPS2024

Well, I don’t know what else I was expecting.
Cloud of words in various colors and sizes based on a Google Scholar profile. The words “learning” and “kernel” are enormous. The next-biggest (much smaller) words include: active, deep, neural, regularization, tangent, testing, via, distribution, estimators, features, machine, mmd, model, models, regression, theory, using, approximation, case, clusters, community-led, compositional, convergence, data, differentially, distributions, dynamical, dynamics.

Periodic reminder: submitting on #arXiv is great! But the source is available: good per se, but remember to remove LaTeX comments you don't want to be made public. Thankfully, there are tools that do that (and more) easily and automatically for you! E.g., arXiv-collector: github.com/djsutherland...
