It has been a while since I have been active here, and lots of things have changed: different city, different role. I have been swamped, but I finally managed to update my website. More news sooner than later! (I accept suggestions for lab names) adrianjav.github.io

The 9th Workshop on Tractable Probabilistic Modeling | TPM 2026
A workshop at UAI 2026 on tractable probabilistic modeling, highlighting recent connections to tensor factorizations, causality, and trustworthy AI.

"He is from [MASK] [MASK]" → "San York"? dLLMs fail because they ignore token dependencies. This Factorization Barrier arises from a structural misspecification: models are restricted to fully factorized outputs. We break this barrier with CoDD, enabling coherent parallel generation. 🚀

But that general sense of dread when approaching any port of entry, that questioning of "should I even go", that being put in a box and told to wait indefinitely, etc., are all very, very relatable.

What happens if we tokenize cat as [ca, t] rather than [cat]? LLMs are trained on just one tokenization per word, but they still understand alternative tokenizations. We show that this can be exploited to bypass safety filters without changing the text itself. #AI #LLMs #tokenization #alignment

Circuits are generative models that use sum-product computation graphs to model probability densities. But how do we ensure the non-negativity of the output? Check out our poster "On the Relationship between Monotone and Squared Probabilistic Circuits" at AAAI 2025 **today**: 12:30pm-14:30pm #841.

You have some model/knowledge (e.g. Bayes Net, Probabilistic Circuit, Probabilistic/Logic Program, DB) and some query (e.g. MAP, Causal Adjustment) you want to ask. When can you compute this efficiently? Find out @ NeurIPS today in Poster Session 6 East, #3801. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2412.05481
