On a quest to accelerate Science with #AI. Professor of AI and deep learning @UniversiteLiege. Previously @CERN, @nyuniversity.
- In Belgium, scientific papers that originate from public funds can now all be made public in open access, regardless of any contract with publishers. It is written in the law. And retroactive.Voilà, la loi fédérale belge autorisant #OAGreen publiée aujourd'hui au Moniteur belge ejustice.just.fgov.be/cgi/article.pl… art. 29 page 68691 TOUS articles scientif des chercheurs belges peuvent désormais être déposés en #OA sur #RI avec embargo max 6/12 mois. Quel que soit contrat signé !
- Excited to kick off the second term with my students! Time to teach Deep Learning again! This year, I have decided to say goodbye to RNNs and GANs and cover GNNs and score-based diffusion models instead 🤖💡
- Bayesian nugget of the day: Metropolis-Hastings. 1) Draw a candidate θ from a proposal q(θ|θₜ), 2) Accept θ if u < π(θ)/π(θₜ) q(θₜ|θ)/q(θ|θₜ) for u~U[0,1], 3) Repeat. Beautifully, this results in a Markov chain whose stationary distribution coincides with the target π!
GIF - This is a first... Reviewer #2 asking us to compare against the very paper we are submitting and that he is (supposed to be) reviewing!? This is all just a farce... #ICLR2025 🙃
- Scikit-Learn just crossed 100000 citations! I am no longer part of the core team, but I am proud to have been part of the project since the beginning. A big thank you to all maintainers, contributors, and users for their continuous vision, support and help! 👏 @scikit_learn
- Finally done with teaching my Deep Learning class for this term! This year's version includes new lectures on autodiff and transformers. All (787) slides can be found at drive.google.com/file/d/1ZzAtPs… 🧑🎓
- Scientific and societal impact of research comes rarely from where we expect. Open source software is one such example: today, Scikit-Learn just passed 10000 citations! Congratulations to all contributors for all the progress they triggered!
- Remember the Galton board? When nails are positioned such that the probability of bouncing left is always the same, the resulting distribution is a binomial, for which the likelihood p(x) of bin x is known analytically.
GIF - Today I used @OpenAI Davinci model (GPT-3) for an actual Turing test in my first lecture of Introduction to AI. It turned out great! Davinci passed the test! 🤖
- Tomorrow I'll actually teach my first ever lecture on deep learning, rebuilding all the basic constructs, starting from LDA up to deep rectified networks. Lecture slides available at montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~geurts/Cours/…
- When your colleagues and friends send a welcome card to celebrate your newborn using the #NeurIPS2020 paper template ❤️ Thanks all! See you soon :)
- Watching PhD students lose their last crumbs of illusion about science when faced with stubborn, unreasonable, or completely absent reviewers is heartbreaking. We've got to do better as a community. #NeurIPS2024
- It's out! Our latest paper with @KyleCranmer: Adversarial Variational Optimization of Non-Differentiable Simulators arxiv.org/abs/1707.07113
