The Center for Computational Mathematics at Flatiron Institute is hiring research fellows (postdocs) to start next year -- applications are due December 15. This would be a great position for those working in e.g. the theory/science of deep learning. apply.interfolio.com/155357

Ekin Akyürek (Ekin Akyürek) builds tools for understanding & controlling algorithms that underlie reasoning in language models. You’ve likely seen his work on in-context learning; I'm just as excited about past work on linguistic generalization & future work on test-time scaling.

I don’t mind if o1 does not think clearly like humans. It’s great for computing formulas like integrals, even better in combination with Wolfram alpha 🙌🏼

Nice talk by Jarod Alper at JMM’25 🙌🏼

Very exciting research direction ! 🙌🏼
