Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 15/12/2025The Egyptian government condemns #Sydney 's attack on Jews. Terrorism should never happen in the name of Palestinian Cause. 000
Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 11/12/2025So sweet to see the Modern Algebra course attracting 30 students, including non-Math majors. 000
Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 15/10/2025It took me a while to discover this limit, and turned out to be solvable using high-school Calculus. #Math #MathSky 000
Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 13/10/2025It took us years of bloodbath to be here. Sticking to one short-sighted narrative is bad for everyone. All of humanity should celebrate this day for a long living peace. #Israel #Palestine 010
Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 12/10/2025Following up D. Kurtzer, I found he did support Palestine as well. Full report: www.mei.edu/sites/defaul... 010

Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 24/09/2025Long history but an embarassing present, #Egypt. We have all the tools but no good utilization. #science. Download: filebin.net/r4a0bb1ken1n... 010

Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 25/08/2025A wonderful Algebraic Geometry workshop by our Egyptian stars: - Moaaz & Hussien, Representation Theory & Algebraic Geometry, PhD students @uoregon.bsky.social - Hazem Hassan, Arithmetic Geometry, PhD student @mcgill.ca #MathSky #Math #Egypt 030
Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 20/08/2025Math is reputed to be for a limited gifted segment of people. I found this from an advice for startups: paulgraham.com/13sentences.... #MathSky #Math 000
Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 13/08/2025This online Complex Analysis book contains cool interactive visualizations: complex-analysis.com/content/anal... There is a good potential in augmenting books with modern educational tools. #Math #MathSky 083
Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 09/08/2025I have just discovered a quality open-access Geometric Deep Learning course: geometricdeeplearning.com as part of African Master’s in Machine Intelligence: aimsammi.org #ML #MachineLearning #AI 021
Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 04/08/2025I don't know how significant Geometry, Topology, or Algebra, will be on machine learning. Nonetheless, It's great to see a paper surveying and introducing such emerging fields. #AI #MathSky #TCSsky arxiv.org/abs/2407.09468 001
Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 26/07/2025Geoffry Hinton's talk highlighted how logic had fallen back in intelligence. For me, it is a reminder that scientific progress may happen outside of our favorite areas. #science #AI #MachineLearning www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ikdz... 020
Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 25/07/2025A beautiful and accessible, yet under-rated, TCS introductory book: nature-of-computation.org #TCSsky #TCS 000

Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 21/07/2025Requiring proficiency with mathematical proofs is not common among the machine learning community. Who knows what this will bring us. #AI boazbk.github.io/mltheorysemi... 001
Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 19/07/2025We are happy to announce a workshop in Analysis at The American University in Cairo. sites.google.com/aucegypt.edu... 000
Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 04/07/2025The Math community in #Egypt had a very sweet gathering in The American University in Cairo. A stunning hall, energetic talks, warming gathering, and sweet donuts. Some stayed late night after the event had ended at 9:30 PM. #MathSky 030
Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 28/06/2025A very unique book by @dreugeniacheng.bsky.social which treats Category Theory as a theory to understand Pure Math. Given Category as a theory of Math, can we infer which research directions are progressing for Math and which are not? #Math 010
Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 11/06/2025As Apple had fallen behind in LLM race, they did research about the limitations of #LLM, rather than pushing its frontiers. This shows how research is based on biased tastes and subjective directions. Paper publication is not science authority. #AcademicSky machinelearning.apple.com/research/ill... 000
Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 05/06/2025We are thankful for everyone's support to Palestinian students. #MathSky Registeration: univ-lille-fr.zoom.us/webinar/regi... 020
Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 11/05/2025Celebrating women in Mathematics at Cairo university. Unlike the west, women in Arabian regions do truly deserve support. Many families believe women's role is only sitting at home for raising kids. #science #AcademicSky 010
Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 28/04/2025Unprivileged students have the opportunity of growth from adversity, building their own style and technique since they are not followers. Success comes from unique experiences, not given privileges. #AcademicSky source: x.com/Saraht0n1n/s... 121
Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 25/04/2025The inventor of modern Reinforcement learning says #AI isn't matured, and we need non-profit basic research. Then science gets budget cuts in the name of efficiency 🤔. source: www.openmindresearch.org 010
Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 25/04/2025Yes! Good researchers don't just blindly follow directions to quickly publish and get promoted. They are brave to advance what no one works on. #CS #AcademicSky #science source: cacm.acm.org/news/a-rewar... 010

Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 18/04/2025Whenever I feel tired and in need of some break, I immediately watch @simonsinstitute.bsky.social workshops! Not only technically useful but also enjoyable 😊. Thanks for publicly sharing those. #TCSsky 000
Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 14/04/2025I discovered a magical tool that produces super-resolutions of images, and it works greatly on whiteboard math pictures: github.com/upscayl/upsc... #MathSky 051
Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 13/04/2025While replying to Scott's blog, I recalled prof. Oded's beautiful essay: www.wisdom.weizmann.ac.il/~oded/on-val... I think it is relevant to TCS research nowadays. Only because engineers are successful with #LLM, that doesn't justify theorists to compete with them. #TCSsky 000

Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 05/04/2025I don't know why these #Gaza excellence talks are not mentioned on the linked websites. Seemingly it was internally communicated through their mailing list. Registration form: univ-lille-fr.zoom.us/webinar/regi... #MathSky 042
Mostafa Touny @mostafatouny.com · 30/03/2025Computer scientists investigate the relationship between informal and formal mathematics. This area is very fertile, yet promising. The tutorial recording is in: machine-learning-for-theorem-proving.github.io #MathSky #TCSsky 000
