If you're into agents, LLMs, or how AI interacts with software and humans, join us! - Sat, July 19 - Workshop on Computer Use Agents @ ICML 🧠 - Thu, July 17 - the UiPath Agentic Happy Hour @ Vancouver, CA🍸 Let’s connect! 👉 #ICML2025 #AIagents #Agents #CUA #wCUA #AI
🚀Introducing “StochasTok: Improving Fine-Grained Subword Understanding in LLMs”!🚀 LLMs are incredible but still struggle disproportionately with subword tasks, e.g., for character counts, wordplay, multi-digit numbers, fixing typos… Enter StochasTok, led by @anyaasims! [1/]
Come chat to us now at the Planning and Reasoning workshop about Stochastok fixing pathologies in subword understanding in LLMs! Finally enabling LLMs to understand how many “r”s are in strawberry 🍓🍓 📍Garnet 212-213 Paper: github.com/anyasims/stoch… @anyaasims @klarakaleb…
What a thrill to hold this month’s issue of @NatGeo magazine and open it to see the faces and words of Congolese researchers studying the Congo Basin rainforest splashed across 24 pages of this iconic publication 🌱🌍🔬
at #ICLR25? 🇸🇬 check out @cong_ml talk about our work on a novel stochastic tokenisation method, StochasTok, on Mon, 4:20 PM @ Hall 4 #6 @anyaasims @j_foerst @yeewhye + Thom Foster
Excited to be in Singapore for #ICLR2025! 🇸🇬 Looking forward to chatting about open-endedness and the automation of innovation & discovery!! Find our work at: ➡️ Poster: Intelligent Go-Explore ⏰ Thu, 3-5:30 PM | 📍 Hall 3+2B #282 @shengranhu @jeffclune ➡️ Poster: Automated…
🚀Announcing the Workshop on Computer Use Agents at #ICML2025 in July, Vancouver! Join us, to advance research on AI agents performing real-world computer tasks. 🤖Call for Papers & Demos: Deadline May 18, 2025 🎙️Exciting speaker lineup announced! ✍️Interested in…
Couldn't agree more. "UK Research and Innovation funding in the UK fell under the previous government from 6,835 in 2018-19 to 4,900 in 2022-23". To give a concrete example (with my @UCLCS professor hat on): 4 out of 7 @UCL_DARK PhD students were funded by the Centre for Doctoral…
I’ve been complaining about lack of error bars in LLM papers for some time. Rather than just complaining, here’s a guide on how to do it! ⬇️ We’ve done a small Python lib that you can install… or copy-paste one file into your projects (dependencies are annoying, we get it 🙃)
Our paper on the best way to add error bars to LLM evals is on arXiv! TL;DR: Avoid the Central Limit Theorem -- there are better, simple Bayesian (and frequentist!) methods you should be using instead. Super lightweight library: github.com/sambowyer/baye… 🧵👇
~ 1 week left to apply - come work with us! 🤗

Our hearts are breaking for those who have been impacted by extreme wildfires in California. Climate change is taking the places we love. Spreading awareness about climate change is one of the best ways to fight it. Let’s start protecting the people and place we love, right now!…
Postdoctoral fellowships and research engineer positions available for an Oxford+Singapore project on uncertainty quantification in LLMs! docs.google.com/document/d/1mI… Oxford deadline is Feb 26. Pls apply if interested, forward to your contacts, contact me if you have questions 🙏🙏
Applications are now open for EEML 2025 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, 21-26 July! 🎉 Learn from top AI researchers and connect with peers in Sarajevo 🇧🇦, a historical crossroads of East and West. Needs-based scholarships are available. Deadline: 31 March 2025.
I hope @Keir_Starmer and his government are taking notes. To “unleash AI across UK to boost growth” one has to invest in talent and compute at the very least. Hint: getting rid of triple lock will help! Move 💰 from the unproductive to those who will deliver the growth you’re…

#ICML2025 includes a new track on Application-Driven Machine Learning (innovative ML techniques, problems, and datasets driven by the needs of end-users in real-world)! If this fits your work, consider submitting to ICML (dl: Jan 30) and checking the ADML box ✅ in OpenReview ⬇️
Loving the #NeurIPS2024 'Beyond Decoding: Meta-Generation Algorithms for LLMs' workshop ❤️ by @wellecks @mattf1n @haileysch__: 1. Primitive generators: optimization vs sampling 2. Meta-generators: chain, parallel, tree, refinement 3. Efficiency: quantize, FA, sparse MoEs, KV…
