@FlorentinGuth
Postdoc at @NYUDataScience and @FlatironCCN. Wants to understand why deep learning works.
As you know I'm obsessed with power laws in biology, which is a biological consequence of fundamental principles, like energy conservation from the first law of thermodynamics. Geoffrey West showed how highly optimized biological networks—think blood vessels or respiratory…

For evolving unknown PDEs, ML models are trained on next-state prediction. But do they actually learn the time dynamics: the "physics"? Check out our poster (W-107) at #ICML2025 this Wed, Jul 16. Our "DISCO" model learns the physics while staying SOTA on next states prediction!

🌈 I'll be presenting our JMLR paper "A rainbow in deep network black boxes" today at 3pm at #ICLR25! Come to poster #334 if you're interested, I'll be happy to chat More details in the quoted thread (two levels deep)
I'm delighted to announce that the rainbow 🌈 paper has been accepted at JMLR! ➡️ updated paper with brand new intro: arxiv.org/pdf/2305.18512 We released code, along with a self-contained tutorial to reproduce our results in a simple setting: github.com/FlorentinGuth/… More below ⬇️
When x and y are independent random variables, their joint cumulative dist function (CDF) is the product of the individual CDFs: F(x, y) - F(x)*F(y) = 0 If x,y are only uncorrelated, then Cov(x,y) =0. Can we express uncorrelated-ness in terms of the CDFs as well? Yes. This is…
Graduate students and advanced undergraduates: Interested in a 3-month summer research internship in Computational Neuroscience @FlatironCCN Come join us in June! Application deadline 17 Jan 2025: apply.interfolio.com/159680
Poster session still going on in West meeting rooms 205-207! Come say hi and check your favorite posters (also there is decaf)
Can LLMs plan? The answer might be in @HanieSedghi's talk. Only one way to know, join us in West meeting rooms 205-207
