One of my PhD students got their visa revoked. I know of other cases amongst my AI colleagues. This is not what investing in US leadership in AI looks like. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/4/...

Hundreds of students have had their visas cancelled and find themselves in limbo.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

An excellent post by Kevin Buzzard on informal reasoning methods like o3. The key point, one I wholeheartedly agree with, is that informal methods continue to struggle with proof even when they give the correct answers, and this is a critical liability. xenaproject.wordpress.com/2024/12/22/c...

Can AI do maths yet? Thoughts from a mathematician.
So the big news this week is that o3, OpenAI’s new language model, got 25% on FrontierMath. Let’s start by explaining what this means.

Delighted to share our new position paper: arxiv.org/abs/2412.16075! The o1/o3 path to math reasoning is based on LLMs and large-scale test-time search. We argue for a different path that uses formal proof assistants for ✅ creating high-quality synthetic data ✅ rigorous test-time feedback. (1/2)

Yeming will present his new work on diverse generation with foundation models on 12/12 at #NeurIPS2024: openreview.net/pdf?id=sp8wH.... The main idea is to leverage synthetic data. We use influence functions to partition the data into subsets, then train multiple model adaptations on these subsets.
