When reading a large literature, it is really helpful to have opinionated opinions that help to categorize papers.
One of mine for explainable AI is that methods need to address a fundamental limit in how much information can be communicated.

Ever wondered about graph learning? Watch Ameya Velingker and Haggai Maron give a masterful introduction at the Simons Institute's workshop on Graph Learning Meets Theoretical Computer Science. Video: simons.berkeley.edu/talks/ameya-...
i'm looking forward to attending & contributing to the first ever EurIPS meeting (@euripsconf.bsky.social #EurIPS)! glad that i can learn about the most exciting ML research without having to travel to the US to attend a 15k+ person conference.
some personal highlights of the program below.

My maternity leave project is now somewhat out: I made a jupyterbook about the basics of ML, that I teach at TUE. You can check it out here:
sibylse.github.io/TUEML/intro....
The linA part is not yet formulated out and there are other todos, but maybe it helps someone with their own course design ๐
EurIPS is coming! ๐ฃ Mark your calendar for Dec. 2-7, 2025 in Copenhagen ๐
EurIPS is a community-organized conference where you can present accepted NeurIPS 2025 papers, endorsed by @neuripsconf.bsky.social and @nordicair.bsky.social and is co-developed by @ellis.eu

GLOW is returning on ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฎ๐ฒ๐๐ต, ๐ฑ๐ฝ๐บ ๐๐๐ง with a special guest: @petar-v.bsky.social ๐
He will lecture on LLMs as GNNs โ a topic which received quite some attention at our last session.
Specifically, we will learn how Graph ML tools can help understand LLM generalisation
Apply if you are working on Geometric Deep Learning!
Had such a great experience as a student in the past year.
This year I will be joining as a mentor along with so many other great researchers!
Hope to see you in London โบ๏ธ

Thanks @sliverdaemon.bsky.social for pointing this out.
Ever needed a graph neural network with maximal expressivity on almost all molecules (aka ๐ผ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฝ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฟ graphs)?
Turns out you only need a simple graph transformation called ๐ถ๐ด๐!
