It is sometimes easy to become disillusioned in academia, but people like this and meetings like this make it all worth it! Building a global vision together for neuroscience equity and innovation at #SABrainhack!

I am happy that our paper won an Outstanding Paper Award at EMNLP 2025 🎉 Congratulations Hellina Hailu Nigatu Benjamin Rosman thamar | & Monojit Choudhury

[IN CONVERSATION] The Wits University Machine Intelligence and Neural Discovery Institute (MIND Institute) has been established with the objective to drive homegrown innovation that addresses the unique challenges and opportunities presented by the African context. Prof.

The Wits MIND Institute seeks to lead Africa in pushing the frontiers of fundamental AI research and the scientific understanding of intelligence in its many forms, while developing cutting-edge technologies tailored to Africa’s unique challenges, through robust interdisciplinary

Congratulations to Benjamin Rosman, a CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholar, who will serve as the inaugural director of Wits University's new Machine Intelligence and Neural Discovery (MIND) Institute!

Congratulations to the successful launch of the Wits MIND institute, especially to our Director Benjamin Rosman, who continues to astound us with his dedication to pushing frontiers for Africa.

AI has the power to transform societies across Africa 🌍 Last week, our own Dr Aisha Walcott-Bryant joined thought leaders at the Wits MIND Institute launch to discuss open questions on #AI, building AI capacity, and its potential for Africa’s future👉 bit.ly/3OmApA4

Big congrats to Atnafu & Benjamin for their Outstanding Paper Award at #EMNLP2024! 🏆 Their work emphasises building #EthicalAI that reflects linguistic and cultural diversity. This achievement shows #LelapaAI's commitment to innovation with impact🙌 Join us in celebrating them!

Rwanda here we go ! 🇷🇼 We are excited to announce that the Deep Learning Indaba 2025 annual event will be back for its 7th edition taking place in Kigali, Rwanda from the 17th to 22nd of August, 2025 at University of Rwanda. 🌍✨ As always, our team is hard at work crafting our amazing

🦸🏽‍♂️ Not all heroes wear capes. Some build #AfricanLanguage models. Some launch #startups. Some get turned into anime. 💥 Our founders do all three! Meet #LelapaAI's co-founders looking like they're ready to drop the next powerful #MultilingualModel, anime style🙌 #AIForAfrica

New Article: "Composition and Zero-Shot Transfer with Lattice Structures in Reinforcement Learning" by Nangue Tasse, James, and Rosman jair.org/index.php/jair…

Our paper, “Make Haste Slowly: A Theory of Emergent Structured Mixed Selectivity in Feature Learning ReLU Networks” will be presented at ICLR 2025 this week (openreview.net/forum?id=27SSn…)! We derive closed-form dynamics for some, remarkably linear, feature learning ReLU networks (1/9)

Thrilled to share that our paper was just published in JAIR (jair.org/index.php/jair…)! We formalise task composition in RL using lattice structures📷, building a general framework for logical composition over arbitrary tasks beyond Boolean logic. (1/8) 🧵👇

🌟Meet Our Speaker | UNU Macau AI Conference 2025 We are excited to announce Professor Benjamin Rosman Benjamin Rosman as a keynote speaker for the UNU Macau AI Conference 2025! Prof. Rosman, a leading expert in AI and robotics, is a Professor at the University of the

Great news! This work has also been accepted into RLC for the Journal to Conference Track. Congrats Geraud Nangue Tasse and teams for the great result 🦾
