- We’re excited to announce the release of all materials for Yann LeCun’s Deep Learning, DS-GA 1008, co-taught in Spring 2020 with Alfredo Canziani @alfcnz. Learn more on our blog! medium.com/@NYUDataScienc… #DeepLearning
- Congratulations to our founding Director! NYU CDS' Yann LeCun wins ACM Turing award, the Nobel of Computer Science: nyu.edu/about/news-pub… Named father of the Deep Learning Revolution: awards.acm.org/about/2018-tur… He will be sharing the award with Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio!
- We’re excited to announce the launch of the Minds, Brains, and Machines Initiative! The project, led by @lakebrenden & @todd_gureckis, seeks to promote research at the intersection of human & machine intelligence. More information at mbm.cds.nyu.edu
- Calling all (aspiring) data scientists! A reminder that CDS Founding Director Yann LeCun (@ylecun) and @NYU_Courant Clinical Asst. Prof. Alfredo Canziani (@alfcnz) offer a highly acclaimed free online deep learning course centered on energy-based models: cds.nyu.edu/deep-learning/
- Applications for the NYU Data Science PhD program are now open! To apply/find more information, please visit our PhD Admissions page: cds.nyu.edu/phd-admissions…. We're excited to welcome the next cohort of leading researchers in data science! #datascience
- Let's all give a HUGE congrats to CDS faculty @kchonyc for being awarded a 2021 Samsung Ho-Am Prize in the field of Engineering! His award recognizes his work in developing a neural machine translation algorithm that can provide high-quality translations.
- CDS founding director @ylecun on @lexfridman's podcast discusses why LLMs won’t lead us to AGI. He advocates for AI grounded in the physical world and stresses the importance of open source. Read more:
- CDS welcomes Eunsol Choi (@eunsolc) as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science (@NYU_Courant) and Data Science! Her research focuses on advancing how computers interpret human language in real-world contexts.
- Yann LeCun (@ylecun), CDS' founding director, demystifies AI's capabilities in a recent Observer article, revealing why even the most advanced AI isn’t as smart as a house cat. His insights remind us of the long road ahead to AGI.
- Let’s all take a moment to congratulate Yann LeCun @ylecun for being elected to the National Academy of Sciences @theNASciences!
- CDS founding director Yann LeCun (@ylecun) has won the 2025 Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering for his work on modern machine learning and neural networks. He shares the £500,000 prize with six other AI pioneers.
- Data science is indeed for everyone! We’re excited to announce the release of both the new course book and video series inspired by “Data Science for Everyone”, our popular undergraduate course.
- Meet Sanae Lotfi, a PhD CDS student who is one of three DeepMind Fellows joining us this academic year. We’re also proud to note that Sanae has recently won the McKinsey First Generation Achievement Award earlier this month. Learn more on our blog: medium.com/@NYUDataScienc…
