Join our start-up research institute, or actually a scale-up which already includes ~40 machine learning research groups. Tell who you want to work with, or leave that open and we will do match-making.
- Postdocs: Call will open in January, DL early Feb www.ellisinstitute.fi/postdoc-recr...
- Postdoc in my group, DL Jan 4 www.aalto.fi/en/open-posi...
Thinking of the next big move at the turn of the year? Here are some in Machine Learning and AI research, for PIs and postdocs:
@ellisinstitute.fi is looking for:
- PIs who will also get a tenure track professorship: DL Jan 12 www.ellisinstitute.fi/PI-recruit-2...
1/ Very happy with this spotlight paper at
@neuripsconf.bsky.social where we continue our "Amortize Everything" agenda.
After the Amortized Conditioning Engine (Chang et al., AISTATS, 2025) which amortizes all sorts of inference tasks, here with ALINE we amortize both inference & design.
We jointly amortize Bayesian inference and active data acquisition within a single architecture.
Excited to share our #NeurIPS2025 ✨Spotlight✨ paper “ALINE: Joint Amortization for Bayesian Inference and Active Data Acquisition”!

Finland's PM Petteri Orpo cuts the ribbon to open ELLIS Institute Finland along with @samikaski.bsky.social, @serge.belongie.com, Peter Sarlin, Bernhard Schölkopf. An inspiring morning of discussion on the future of AI research and collaboration in Europe, powered by @ellis.eu and partners 💪
The positions are funded by ERC, UKRI Turing AI World-Leading Researcher Fellowship, and www.elliot-ai.eu
More about me and the group at kaski-lab.com
We do probabilistic machine learning, develop new principles and methods and apply them with collaborators in other domains, as AI4Research and AI4Science.

Very happy and also honoured to serve in a new way, not only thinking of our @ellisinstitute.fi , our very nice collaboration within Nordic AIR, or with Northern UK, but the whole of Europe. @ellis.eu is good for Europe!
"The recent expansion of @ellis.eu with two new institutes in @ellisinsttue.bsky.social and Finland shows that Europe has the vision, resources and drive to achieve the best AI research in the world.” Our director @samikaski.bsky.social joins the ELLIS Board, read more below! 👇

Still a couple of days to apply to the ELLIS PhD program, DL Oct 31, 2025: ellis.eu/news/ellis-p... I am especially looking for students interested in developing new approaches for distribution shifts in my new ERC AdG www.ellisinstitute.fi/a-revolution... but also other topics, see kaski-lab.com
Highly recommended @ellis.eu UnConference workshop from the ELLIS Robust ML Program at @euripsconf.bsky.social
Amortized ProbML: Unlocking Probabilistic Machine Learning for Real-world Inference & Design (🇩🇰) ELLIS UnConference Workshop Copenhagen | 2 December, 2025
Do you like to train neural networks to solve all your nasty probabilistic inference and sequential design problems?
Do you love letter salads such as NPs, PFNs, NPE, SBI, BED?
Then no place is better than the Amortized ProbML workshop we are organizing at #ELLIS UnConference.

Suomessa on tehty 1970-luvulta lähtien tutkimusta, joka on mahdollistanut mullistuksia tekoälyn saralla.
Ellis-instituutin tarkoituksena on nostaa tämä kokonaisuus seuraavalle tasolle.
"Nyt on oikeasti mahdollista tehdä asioita maailmanluokassa, @samikaski.bsky.social sanoo.
yle.fi/a/74-20179689
Jenkeissä (ja muuallakin) tekoälytutkijoita houkutellaan akatemiasta yritysten labroihin valtavilla palkkioilla. Harvardissa ollaan jo huolissaan akateemisesta tutkimuksesta, kun opiskelijoita mukaansa vetävistä tutkijatohtoreista alkaa olla pula. Suomessa yritetään vastata tähän haasteeseen.
"Science is the best problem-solving tool that humanity has; science combined with AI can be even more powerful." This why it pays to invest in long-term, basic research, says
@samikaski.bsky.social in the @aalto.fi Keys to Growth series.
