Had an incredible opportunity to give two lectures on diffusion models at MLSS-Sénégal 🇸🇳 in early July! Slides are available here: onedrive.live.com/?redeem=aHR0cH… Big thanks to @eugene_ndiaye for the invitation!
🥳MLSS (Machine Learning Summer School) arrive au Sénégal 🇸🇳 en 2025! 🌍 📍 AIMS Mbour, Senegal 📅 23 Juin - 4 Juillet, 2025 Une école d'été internationale pour explorer, collaborer et approfondir votre compréhension du Machine Learning. 🔗 : mlss-senegal.github.io
Incredible to see how fast the field moves since we worked on masked diffusion arxiv.org/abs/2406.04329. Huge congratulations to @Jaeyeon_Kim_0 @sitanch for the award!
#ICML2025 Outstanding Paper Awards
Happy to announce our ICML 2025 paper with Arto Klami, Aapo Hyvärinen, @Korba_Anna and @lomarchehab! Density Ratio Estimation is hard, especially in high dimensions! This was reformulated as learning and integrating a time score. We improve the learning! 🧵 Thread below
Grateful to attend #MLSS2025 at @AIMS_Senegal1 🇸🇳 — a transformative experience! Learned from global ML experts & connected with brilliant PhD students from Europe & the US. Huge thanks to @AdilSlm , @eugene_ndiaye for making this possible! #MlssSenegal2025

Several research groups have released papers on the convergence of Muon, mostly looking at either as a Frank-Wolfe method with momentum or a trust region procedure. I find this one to be particularly easy to read.
No matter how AI evolves overnight—tech, career, how it may impact me—I remain committed to using "physics of language models" approach to predict next-gen AI. Due to my limited GPU access at Meta, Part 4.1 (+new 4.2) are still in progress, but results on Canon layers are shining
(1/8)🍎A Galileo moment for LLM design🍎 As Pisa Tower experiment sparked modern physics, our controlled synthetic pretraining playground reveals LLM architectures' true limits. A turning point that might divide LLM research into "before" and "after." physics.allen-zhu.com/part-4-archite…

@peter_richtarik boots on the ground now, teaching Federated Learning
Back from MLSS Senegal 🇸🇳, where I had the honor of giving lectures on differentiable programming. Really grateful for all the amazing people I got to meet 🙏 My slides are here github.com/diffprog/slide…
Many many many thanks to the lecturers of the first week for their dedication (could only get some of them on this photo...) #MlssSenegal2025 @adjiboussodieng @mblondel_ml @neu_rips @Ashia__Wilson @natschluter @SeydaNgom @dohmatobelvis @egor_shulg @joof @eugene_ndiaye
