Congratulations to my former PhD student Martin Langhammer on the acceptance of his paper "High Performance Multi-Processor Systems on FPGA" at HEART 2026

Had a great away day with the @imperialecri.bsky.social team yesterday at our White City campus. It was great to see the alignment in values coming through so strongly.

NeuraLUT-Assemble: Hardware-aware Assembling of Sub-Neural Networks for Efficient LUT Inference Efficient neural networks (NNs) leveraging lookup tables (LUTs) have demonstrated significant potential for emerging AI applications, particularly when deployed on field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA...

Her work on PolyLUT, NeuraLUT, and their extensions has set new standards in LUT-based neural networks. See arxiv.org/abs/2504.00592 for the latest work, and my blog constantinides.net for accessible introductions.

Huge congratulations to @martaandronic.bsky.social who yesterday passed her PhD viva with flying colours. Very positive comments from the examiners Kia Bazargan and Christos Savvas Bouganis. Marta has been a joy to supervise. (1/2)

Back from a lovely couple of days at the beautiful @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social, doing a PhD viva in Themis Prodromakis' group on machine-learning accelerators and then spending time with my collaborator Jianyi Cheng and his PhD student Chenyang Ai on egraphs.

Wittgenstein and his impact upon Anglophone philosophy, Professor Peter Hacker YouTube video by The Royal Institute of Philosophy

Great thought-provoking lecture from Peter Hacker on Wittgenstein, hosted by The Royal Institute of Philosophy. With a wonderful ending "each generation must roll its own". There's a great need to "transform latent nonsense into patent nonsense" right now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcNE...

Spent today at a great @raeng.org.uk / LRF workshop on Sustainability and Safety at the Frontier of AI: A broad scoping exercise on what's coming by 2040 and how we get there.

I emphasised need for algorithm / representation / architecture codesign. Also discussions on social / econ drivers in AI.

Attended my first meeting of the IEEE P3109 working group on Arithmetic Formats for Machine Learning today. Some interesting discussions - looking forward to more to come.

Happy British Philosophy Fortnight 2026. Much of my work involves questions about knowledge, abstraction, and value. Philosophy is everywhere. #philosophymatters

Block Number Formats are (Still!) Direction Preservers In my previous post, I argued that block number formats can be understood geometrically as direction preservers. That argument relied on an idealization: once a block direction had been chosen, its…

Block Number Formats are (Still!) Direction Preservers

In a follow-up to my last blog post, here I show that even under coarse rounding of scaling factors to powers of two, block number formats can be considered direction preservers.

Spent a great morning with students and staff of Imperial Maths School. Highlight: student telling me that "here, if I am worried or concerned about something, people actually listen to me". Huge kudos to the maths school team.

Very useful clarity in this letter from UKRI to Chi Onwurah on funding - especially the Sankey diagram.

Block Number Formats are Direction Preservers I’ve recently returned from the SIAM PP 2026 conference and as always, conferences help provide time for research reflection. One thing I’ve been reflecting on during my journey back is…

Block Number Formats are Direction Preservers

I've written a brief blog post about block number formats (MX, NVFP4, block floating point, block mini-floats, etc.) from a geometric perspective.

Berliner Fernsehturm

This week I spoke at the SIAM PP 2026 conference in Berlin on the state of play of numerics, especially in AI / machine learning. More details on my talk and my slides are on here: www.linkedin.com/posts/george...

On 4 February, ECRI hosted our inaugural guest lecture with Professor Sir Bashir M. Al Hashimi CBE, who delivered a thought-provoking talk on The Role of Humans in Scientific Discovery in the Age of LLMs.

Highlight #6 of my trip: Chairing the machine learning session at #FPGA2026, including Hoang et al. taking a new direction in LUT-based NNs. To read more about these networks see the early papers LUTNet and LogicNets, then PolyLUT and NeuraLUT and this new work Kanelé.

Highlight #5 of my trip - my first (and second) @waymo.bsky.social rides. Mark Shand from Waymo and I have discussed their technology in some depth in the past but I was not really expecting just how much it felt like being part of my childhood sci-fi inspired dreams.

Highlight #4 of my trip: CAS (& its predecessor, InfoEng) research group @imperialeee.bsky.social Bay Area alumni gathering

Highlight #3 of my trip. My visit to @nvidia's stunningly beautiful HQ and learning about their current applied deep learning activity.

AI and EdTech: MPs launch new inquiry examining technology’s role in education - Committees - UK Parliament MPs will examine the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and EdTech in education, in a new inquiry launched today. 

Super important inquiry launched by the Education Select Committee on AI and EdTech. Read more here: committees.parliament.uk/committee/20...

Highlight #2 of my trip: spending time with @mwillsey.com and Russel Arbore at @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social

Playing 20 questions with my family and I ask the question "is it no larger than a maximal horse". Queue hilarity. Apparently this is not a normal question.

Highlight #1 of my trip: reconnecting with @satnam6502.bsky.social and learning about harmonic.fun

California / FPGA 2026 This month I took a trip to California for the FPGA 2026 conference, together with my two new PhD students Ben Zhang and Bardia Zadeh, which I combined with a number of visits in the San Francisco …

I had a really productive visit to California this month to visit companies and attend FPGA 2026. More details in my blog post.

Quite the venue for the last two days. Discussing neuromorphic computing with the NeuroWare and NeuMAT teams at Armourer's Hall.

St. John's College Cambridge at dawn, crossing the Bridge of Sighs. Back from a great meeting of Aaron Zhao's ARIA project meeting, kindly hosted by Rob Mullins.

Last week I got to 5 days with these wonderful folk at Dagstuhl talking Program Optimization with E-Graphs. My whirring ever since with new ideas and perspectives. Kudos to my fellow organisers, Willsey, Fallin and Steuwer and to all the participants for their open and active participation.
