Oasis’s tour manager bout to have the toughest job in the world:

No one has been this desperate for an Oasis appearance since Alexander the Great visited Siwah in 332 BC

Have you seen our recent paper on Online Unsupervised Continual Learning? Similar to how humans learn - from non-stationary streams of unlabeled data. Cameron_Taylor #MachineLearning lifelong-ml.cc/Conferences/20…

I haven't had a chance to read yet, but looks like Stefan wager wrote the causal inference book I've always wanted! web.stanford.edu/~swager/causal…

This paper has just been published at the JPE. When a new firm enters a market with an established incumbent, its primary challenge is to raise consumer awareness of its product. Using random graphs, we examine price competition. See: journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/73…

Now out "LLMs and generative agent-based models for complex systems research" (sciencedirect.com/science/articl…). We discuss how LLMs & Generative ABMs could shape research in complexity science & identify challenges and opportunities for future frontier cross-disciplinary research.

We are releasing DOCES (Dynamical Opinion Clusters Exploration Suite), a new Python library for studying opinion dynamics. Designed to simulate social network interactions, it allows you to model different features of social networks. Check it out at pypi.org/project/doces/

GeoConfirmed UKR - Misinformation by President Trump. While we typically refrain from political commentary, President Donald Trump's recent statement regarding the war in Ukraine is so egregious that we feel compelled to respond. Several claims made by President Trump have

Fun question from Sam Enright: What’s the “anti-reading list” in your field of expertise?

Believe in Ukraine. Stand with Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine!

Our MIT class “6.S184: Introduction to Flow Matching and Diffusion Models” is now available on YouTube! We teach state-of-the-art generative AI algorithms for images, videos, proteins, etc. together with the mathematical tools to understand them. diffusion.csail.mit.edu (1/4)

I taught a grad course on AI Agents at UCSD CSE this past quarter. All lecture slides, homeworks & course projects are now open sourced! I provide a grounding going from Classical Planning & Simulations -> RL Control -> LLMs and how to put it all together pearls-lab.github.io/ai-agents-cour…

Can't even describe how much I hate what AI has done to the process of grading student work. I hate finding it, I hate the paranoia it fosters, I hate the confrontations with students who have used it. Nothing else in my experience has ever changed my job this much for the worse

I'm teaching databases this semester at Berkeley. My students all seem unusually brilliant. Not many go to office hours, and not too many folks post on the course forum asking project questions. Weirdly, the exam had the lowest recorded average in my 10 semesters teaching it.

How we "guessed" the Pope using network science: inside the cardinal network. A study by me, Beppe Soda and Alessandro Iorio. Article: unibocconi.it/en/news/networ… Università Bocconi

I have this idea for a forty-year non-compete where you can stop working at any time and receive an ok comp for basically ever. It’s called a pension.

I’m not kidding when I say this single interaction has the potential to erase trillions from global GDP
