We're excited to announce a second physical location for NeurIPS 2025, in Mexico City. By expanding our physical locations, we hope to address concerns around skyrocketing attendance and difficulties in obtaining travel visas that some attendees have experienced in the past few…
I am at #ICML2025! 🇨🇦🏞️ Catch me: 1️⃣ Today at the @WiMLworkshop mentoring roundtables (1-2pm in W211-214) 2️⃣ Presenting this paper👇 tomorrow 11-11:30 at East #1205 3️⃣ At the Actionable Interpretability @ActInterp workshop on Saturday in East Ballroom A (I’m an organizer!)
Lots of progress in mech interp (MI) lately! But how can we measure when new mech interp methods yield real improvements over prior work? We propose 😎 𝗠𝗜𝗕: a Mechanistic Interpretability Benchmark!
Briefly coming back on here with some life updates: * I live in Toronto now and have recently joined @VectorInst as a postdoc! * I will be at #ICML2025. Find me at the @QueerinAI social! * I'm also on 🦋 (and will try to be at least somewhat more active on there...)
Honored to get the outstanding position paper award at @icmlconf :) Come attend my talk and poster tomorrow on human centered considerations for a safer and better future of work I will be recruiting PhD students at @stonybrooku @sbucompsc coming fall. Please get in touch.
Very excited for a new #ICML2025 position paper accepted as oral w @mbodhisattwa & @TuhinChakr! 😎 What are the longitudinal harms of AI development? We use economic theories to highlight AI’s intertemporal impacts on livelihoods & its role in deepening labor-market inequality.
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐚𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐄𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧? I'm happy to announce that the preprint release of my first project is online! Developed with the amazing support of @lasha_nlp and @anmarasovic (Full link below 👇)
🥳Excited to share our paper RESTOR: Knowledge Recovery in Machine Unlearning is accepted to #TMLR! We introduce a benchmark where unlearning means not just forgetting target data, but recovering the behavior of an ideal model that never saw them. Paper: openreview.net/pdf?id=BbwlJpN…
What would truly open-source AI look like? Not just open weights, open code/data, but *open development*, where the entire research and development process is public *and* anyone can contribute. We built Marin, an open lab, to fulfill this vision:
