French media are very honest about the state of the world.

Bravo 👌

Today NeurIPS is announcing our official satellite event in Paris.

After responding to the call from Ellis following the success of EurIPS in December, we are pleased to reach a new milestone by joining forces with the NeurIPS organizing committee for the 2026 edition.

DEADLINE APPROACHING!

Apply to Brains, Minds, and Machines by March 23. This three-week course is designed for graduate students, postdocs, and faculty in computer science or neuroscience.

Stabilizing Humanoid Robot Trajectory Generation via Physics-Informed Learning and Control-Informed Steering Recent trends in humanoid robot control have successfully employed imitation learning to enable the learned generation of smooth, human-like trajectories from human data. While these approaches make m...

This work was led by PhD Student Evelyn D'Elia with collaborators from the Artificial and Mechanical Intelligence Lab at @iitalk.bsky.social and the University of Manchester, jointly with the Vandal Lab at Politecnico di Torino. Many thanks to all co-authors!

No.

The JMLR story and operating model should be widely known in academia as a clear success story for full open access. I have friends in the humanities and pure sciences that have no clue this is even possible

1. David Ackerly (UC Berkeley) While his most-cited work is on leaf size and SLA, he also wrote explicitly about plasticity in leaf traits, including shape, in the context of ecological strategies. Example: Ackerly (1997), “Allocation, leaf display, and growth in fluctuating light environments: A comparative study of deciduous and evergreen species” (Oecologia). This emphasizes how plasticity in leaf traits mediates adaptation to light.

Just in case there was any doubt, ChatGPT 5.0 still makes up completely random citations that don't exist and should not be used for literature search.

I can't wait for AI to take one of my seven jobs.

Dino Buzzati’s 1960 _Il Grande Ritratto_ (recently translated as _The Singularity_) mentions in passing the ideas of Silvio Ceccato, Italian cyberneticist who built the first Italian AI system, Adamo II, in 1956. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvio_...
