I'll get straight to the point. We trained 2 new models. Like BERT, but modern. ModernBERT. Not some hypey GenAI thing, but a proper workhorse model, for retrieval, classification, etc. Real practical stuff. It's much faster, more accurate, longer context, and more useful. 🧵

Yesterday, @s7css.bsky.social invited me to present my dissertation at the University of Stuttgart. It was a blast — thanks to the chair of Prof. Heiberger for their invitation, the audience for their amazing feedback, and the city for their hospitality! I'd love to come back one day!

Check out our paper "Network community detection via neural embeddings" led by @skojaku.bsky.social (w Filippo Radicchi and Santo Fortunato)! www.nature.com/articles/s41... We argue that n2v can encode community structure down to the detectability limit due to its connection to spectral embedding.
