A real-life example of musical style transfer -- Ellie Goulding going orchestra style at the Royal Albert Hall last night 🎼

Somebody gave me an eli5 challenge on YouTube just now and I think it was a fun exercise!

Not quite ready for a TED talk on this just yet... but bear with us 🙏😇

It's been a while since I posted lectures on YouTube... so here's two 🫡

Big congratulations to Avi Wigderson of IAS Princeton for winning the Turing Award in CS. Truly an all-time great in theoretical computer science and discrete math. Also one of the nicest human beings I know --friend and mentor to so many (including me) tinyurl.com/fz5vxxaf

If you are (or you know) a young researcher interested in doing a post-doc in Chile, mixing probability+graphs+deep learning, please contact me! Please spread this for visibility! (adding some images taken in the last 3 months for motivation)

We caught up with the legendary Petar Veličković to discuss TacticAI, which he developed with his colleagues at Google DeepMind in collaboration with Liverpool FC club!

I'm delighted to share that our TacticAI paper has been featured as a highlighted paper by the Editors of Nature Communications 🎉🥳⚽🌐

I saw the end of the world, and witnessed the sonic recreation of the end of the world, all in the same month 🤯

Raving to Pendulum live is always a unique vibe, I'm lucky enough to have done it twice now 🥳

...also it's a fantastic way to recover after rebuttal writing 😇

My OpenReview console feels a bit like a 'character select' / 'choose your fighter' screen nowadays 😅🥷

Speaking of fighters, all the best for everybody's ICML rebuttals! We're all in this together 🫡

Arise, Sir Demis Hassabis! Congratulations 🎉

I'm overjoyed: The first-ever **algorithmic reasoning workshop** will take place at #CVPR2024 this year ❤️

I'm giving an invited keynote 😇marworkshop.github.io/cvpr24/index.h…

It'll be my first time in Seattle, and my first time interacting with the CV community! Any advice highly welcome 🙏

Our team at Google DeepMind has a full-time Research Scientist position available at our Mountain View site. Minimum qualification: PhD in ML/NLP. Please email me with: your CV and Google Scholar link; a brief description of the impactful work you have done; and what you aim…

Vanilla deep learning is so 2010s. Did you start learning about *categorical* deep learning yet?! 🔥 with Bruno Gavranović Bruno Gavranović and Paul Lessard paul lessard and Tim Scarfe

I'm actually quite grateful to many of the AI anons here. Being able to speak more freely implies there will be more criticism of research.

Engaging with such criticism is an excellent way to improve how I pitch my ideas, and 9 times out of 10 it results in useful, civil debate.

Welcome to Google DeepMind, Federico Barbero! Your infectious enthusiasm impressed us all -- can't wait to see what we build together over the next half-year 🥳

Teaser clip of Petar Veličković discussing next-gen neural network architectures - it's going to be an exciting future!

When they ask me how much of categorical deep learning can be explained with groups:
