Hey everyone, I'm so excited to share my recent interview on Applications of Variational Autoencoders and Bayesian Optimization with @samcharrington for the @twimlai podcast. Check it out! twimlai.com/go/510 via @twimlai
Mike Tipping starting the 2025 @ELLISforEurope Summer School on Probabilistic #MachineLearning at @Cambridge_Uni.

There is an opening for a University Assistant Professor in Machine Learning to be based at @CambridgeMLG jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/49361/ Apply!
The SPIGM Workshop is back at @NeurIPSConf with an exciting new theme at the intersection of probabilistic inference and modern AI models! We welcome submissions on all topics related to probabilistic methods and generative models---looking forward to your contributions!
🌞🌞🌞 The third Structured Probabilistic Inference and Generative Modeling (SPIGM) workshop is **back** this year with @NeurIPSConf at San Diego! In the era of foundation models, we focus on a natural question: is probabilistic inference still relevant? #NeurIPS2025

It's been a busy and exciting first few days at #ICML2025! Huge congratulations to our members on their fantastic presentations so far. Here’s a recap of the work from our group so far. 🧵👇
The poster session at the 2025 #ELLISSummerSchool on Probabilistic Machine Learning is off to a great start! 🤩
Excited to share our ICML 2025 paper: "Scalable Gaussian Processes with Latent Kronecker Structure" We unlock efficient linear algebra for your kernel matrix which *almost* has Kronecker product structure. Check out our paper here: arxiv.org/abs/2506.06895
Exited to share our new paper accepted by ICML 2025 👉 “PTSD: Progressive Tempering Sampler with Diffusion” , which aims to make sampling from unnormalised densities more efficient than state-of-the-art methods like parallel tempering. Check our threads below 👇
There is an opening for a University Assistant Professor in Responsible Machine Learning at the Cambridge Department of Engineering: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/51655/ Application deadline 16 July 2025.
Clearing out my old office and finding transparencies from my talks from 25 years ago...
A winner of our 2025 Princess Royal Silver Medal 🏅, @alexgkendall founded $1 billion AI startup @wayve_ai, solving longstanding challenges for self-driving cars with deep learning. Find out where its AI could go next in #IngeniaMag 👉 ingenia.org.uk/articles/wayve… #RAEngAwards
Really cool new work with amazing students and collaborators.
[1/9]🚀Excited to share our new work, RNE! A plug-and-play framework for everything about diffusion model density and control: density estimation, inference-time control & scaling, energy regularisation. More details👇 Joint work with @jmhernandez233 @YuanqiD, Francisco Vargas
On the coming Tuesday, we will have Professor Gábor Csányi FRS talking about foundation models in Machine Learning Force Field, from 5pm to 6pm (UK time) 🚀. Abstract could be found in our slack: join.slack.com/t/molss/shared… Join us via zoom: us05web.zoom.us/j/7780256206?p…
