Time is a resource that you can spend on your to-do list to have big numbers in life. A balanced to-do list contains many leisure (maintenance) times scheduled tightly with everything else. The total (big) number of events, leisure or not, is to be optimized. Religiously healthy human. Sarcasm.

PyAerial can now do much faster knowledge discovery from tabular data via rule learning with a tree-based rule extractor (v1.1)! If you are interested in knowledge discovery or interpretable machine learning for high-stakes decision making, check out PyAerial. github.com/DiTEC-projec...

#IJCAI2026, #ECAI2026 decisions are out. Despite having written a rebuttal in hard personal circumstances, receiving no response to our rebuttal from reviewers, SPCs, ACs, or PCs is really heartbreaking.

Tabular foundation models can learn association rules out of the box! For the non-expert: If you work with tables and want to discover interesting patterns, tabular foundation models (TFMs) can quickly find significant, interesting, and generalizable patterns with no additional training. 🧵1/7

Why is defining consciousness not trivial? I am attending the ECAI2025 workshop ACAI - Awakening Consciousness in Artificial Intelligence. And hearing different sound and consistent, at first, definitions or assumptions around consciousness made me think of this question.

I'm excited to present our new method for enhancing knowledge discovery from tabular data using tabular foundation models at the #ECAI2025 conference workshops (ANSyA) this Sunday, October 26th. See our paper, Discovering Association Rules in High-Dimensional Small Tabular Data, below 👇. 🧵1/2

Tabular foundation models can boost knowledge discovery from high-dimensional tabular data with few instances (e.g., gene expression or rare disease data, 1K+ columns and <100 rows)! 📄 Short Paper (Accepted at ECAI 2025 workshops, ANSyA): arxiv.org/pdf/2509.20113 🐍 Code: tinyurl.com/3z8cmuhw 🧵1/8

Rule learning is valuable but overlooked in modern AI; we argue it merits more focus for two reasons: knowledge discovery and interpretable inference. Our NeSy 2025 paper presents a state-of-the-art neurosymbolic tabular rule learner. 📄 arxiv.org/pdf/2504.19354 🐍 github.com/DiTEC-projec... 🧵1/8

There are only so many words and actions we can say or do, and they are no match for the complexity of what's going on in our brain. Whatever anyone says or does, it is not exactly what they meant to say or do. It's just a misalignment of computation and memory to output.

There is something inhuman in quantifying and optimizing things that I can not pinpoint. It is not only that we miss-quantity the unquantifiable or misrepresent the intangible to pursue as goals, but deeper. It is depressing to think every human institution rests on quantification and optimization.
