🎉 #ACL2025NLP 🎉 CoRAL Lab @SCAI_ASU, @ASUEngineering has 4 papers accepted at ACL 2025! 🙌 All thanks 😊 🙏 and congratulations 🎉 🎊 to amazing students authors !! ✅ ACL-Main: 📌 GETReason – Enhancing Image Context Extraction through Hierarchical Multi-Agent…

Quick thread on the recent IMO results and the relationship between symbol manipulation, reasoning, and intelligence in machines and humans:

We're launching an "AI psychiatry" team as part of interpretability efforts at Anthropic!  We'll be researching phenomena like model personas, motivations, and situational awareness, and how they lead to spooky/unhinged behaviors. We're hiring - join us! job-boards.greenhouse.io/anthropic/jobs…

New Anthropic Research: “Inverse Scaling in Test-Time Compute” We found cases where longer reasoning leads to lower accuracy. Our findings suggest that naïve scaling of test-time compute may inadvertently reinforce problematic reasoning patterns. 🧵

Our team @GoogleDeepMind is hiring! You'll join an incredible team passionate about building AGI in the physical world. We're one of the only labs innovating at the cutting edge of both frontier LLMs & humanoids, and we have a ton of fun doing it Apply: job-boards.greenhouse.io/deepmind

Gukesh: "I've learned that when my back is against the world I do everything I can, not only in chess but even if I'm playing some other sport. If I'm down by a match point in tennis—I don't play it so well—but I still manage to give my 100% when my back is against the wall"

Grok can now generate charts. Currently works in browser, will come to more platforms in the coming days.

Hi All, we are hiring a postdoc at Columbia CS DAPlab to work on AI agents, blending system+AI. Please send your CV to, [email protected] and Eugene Wu. [email protected] @CUSEAS

PSA: there’s a guy named Soham Parekh (in India) who works at 3-4 startups at the same time. He’s been preying on YC companies and more. Beware. I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying / scamming people. He hasn’t stopped a year later. No more excuses.

AI now beats every single human in the hardest college entrance exam in India, the IIT JEE. Bytedance silently published this result this week. The top scorer was Rajit Gupta with 332/360, but Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro was at rank 1 with 336/360.

People are racing to push math reasoning performance in #LLMs—but have we really asked why? The common assumption is that improving math reasoning should transfer to broader capabilities in other domains. But is that actually true? In our study (arxiv.org/pdf/2507.00432), we…

man, scientists working on optimizing matrix multiplications have oppenheimer level of aura - use a RL agent to spit out heckload of bilinear products - slap two MILP to combine and filter those - iterate on top of a Large Neighborhood Search flow until it’s fast fast what the

Panel alert! 🎉 Join us at #ACL2025NLP for a discussion with NLP experts Mirella Lapata, Dan Roth, and Yue Zhang, and our moderator Eduard Hovy! More info coming soon! 👀🔥 👉 2025.aclweb.org/program/panel/

ASU’s coding trio from @SCAI_ASU and @ASUMathematics is headed to the @ICPCNews World Finals. 💻🌍 After placing just behind Harvard at the North American Championship, they’re off to Baku, Azerbaijan. First @ASU team in a decade! 🔥 fullcircle.asu.edu/students/ctrl-…

🚀 In #SCAI, we're on a mission to shape a brighter future – and that mission shines through in every page of our Spring 2025 #SCAIMagazine! 🌟 This issue celebrates the curiosity, resilience, and innovation of our students, faculty and alumni. 🎉 flipsnack.com/8AEF5ADD75E/sc…

Happy to introduce AlphaGenome, @GoogleDeepMind's new AI model for genomics. AlphaGenome offers a comprehensive view of the human non-coding genome by predicting the impact of DNA variations. It will deepen our understanding of disease biology and open new avenues of research.

I’m looking for 4–5 emergency reviews over the next three days. Please DM me if you're available!

Finally, A survey of Deep Research! This 95-page survey, from Zhejiang University, examines the rapidly evolving field of Deep Research systems—AI-powered applications that automate complex research workflows through the integration of large language models, advanced information…

what do you teach at the first-year graduate course on machine learning, in this era of LLM and large-scale compute? here's my experiment on answering this question: let's teach everything that admits SGD and that is not LLM, and ask students to read old papers.
