Mackenzie Mathis, PhD

🦓 Self-supervised multimodal ML is promising the next AI breakthrough - in our new work published in @Nature, we debut @CEBRAai: for self-supervised hypothesis- and discovery-driven science. 📝 doi.org/10.1038/s41586… 💻github.com/AdaptiveMotorC… 🦓 cebra.ai 🧵⬇️

We @EPFL_en @Brainmind_EPFL are looking for a new neuroscience colleague at the tenure track assistant professor level! All details below! 🧠⬇️🔥

A team from #KempnerInstitute, @hseas & @UTCompSci has won a best paper award at #ICML2025 for work unlocking the potential of masked diffusion models. Congrats to @Jaeyeon_Kim_0, @shahkulin98, Vasilis Kontonis, @ShamKakade6 and @sitanch. kempnerinstitute.harvard.edu/news/kempner-i… #AI

In a time when international visas are getting more difficult to obtain and when we should be reducing CO2, EurIPS is a great idea! ELLIS has been transformational and EurIPS is another example by which it is growing an already thriving AI Ecosystem in Europe.

🚀Coming soon: a fully open LLM for the public good!🇨🇭 70B model, 1,000+ languages, aligned with EU & Swiss regulations. With key contributions from ELLIS researchers at Unit Zurich (@ETH_en) and @EPFL_ELLIS_unit, incl. Martin Jaggi & @ABosselut. bit.ly/4nC58JP
