Check out this blogpost from Fabrizio Frasca @ ICML 2025 (Vancouver) and the GLOW reading group on the future of graph learning! I’ve also contributed and my main take is - its actually working and its an exciting moment to work on applications!

Nice read! Also, have a look at our two ICML position papers: arxiv.org/abs/2502.14546 (Practice) and arxiv.org/abs/2402.02287 (Theory).

In the post, we write and elaborate on what emerged from one of our open discussion sessions. We touched upon where the community stands and where it may be headed next. Hope you enjoy the read 🤗 This is a joint effort by the GLOW organisers with inputs from many researchers!

Really enjoy reading the post (link: substack.com/inbox/post/166…) and joining the discussion at GLOW 🌟 My main take: ideas and tools in graph learning often inspire research in other fields, such as reasoning in LLMs 💡

🌟 Tune in for GLOW's summer session this Wednesday! 🗓️ July 2nd, 5pm CEST on Zoom! 🌴Baran Hashemi will present Tropical Attention for algo reasoning (arxiv.org/abs/2505.17190) 🧪 Jeremy Wayland will tell us about the intricacies of benchmarking GNNs (arxiv.org/abs/2502.02379)

Excited to present our recent work on Trooical Algebraic Geometry, Transformers and Neural Algorithmic Reasoning

➡️ "Of dice and games: a theory of generalized boosting." and "A fine-grained characterization of PAC learnability.", both by Marco Bressan, Nataly Brukhim, Nicolò Cesa-Bianchi, Emmanuel Esposito, Yishay Mansour, Shay Moran, Maximilian Thiessen.

EurIPS is coming! 📣 Mark your calendar for Dec. 2-7, 2025 in Copenhagen 📅 EurIPS is a community-organized conference where you can present accepted NeurIPS 2025 papers, endorsed by NeurIPS Conference and #NordicAIR and is co-developed by ELLIS eurips.cc

NeurIPS is pleased to officially endorse EurIPS, an independently-organized meeting taking place in Copenhagen this year, which will offer researchers an opportunity to additionally present their accepted NeurIPS work in Europe, concurrently with NeurIPS. Read more in our blog

This will be great newgraphperspectives.com.

Really excited that I will be co-chairing ALT 2026 with Matus Telgarsky! The conference will be Feb 23-26, 2026 at the Fields Institute in Toronto. Website with cfp is now live---stay tuned for updates Please submit your best work and come join us!

Excited to announce the Reliable ML workshop at NeurIPS Conference 2025! 📣 How do we build trustworthy models under distribution shift, adversarial attacks, strategic behavior, and missing data? Fantastic lineup of speakers/panelists: Ahmad Beirami (Ahmad Beirami), Surbhi Goel

Thrilled to share that I’ll be joining TU Vienna as CS Faculty! Excited to teach, research, and collaborate in this inspiring community — all while continuing to supervise my talented students at Oxford. Looking forward to this adventure! #TUVienna #AITHYRA #UniversityOfOxford

On Thursday, 7th of August, Franka Bause successfully defended her doctoral thesis entitled "Efficient and Expressive Graph Learning". This is the first doctoral thesis completed in my working group at Universität Wien and I am truly impressed by the results. Congratulations Franka Bause!

🌟Next GLOW session: Oversmoothing, “Oversquashing”, Heterophily, Long-Range, and more: Demystifying Common Beliefs in Graph ML 👤 with Adrián & Federico. 🔥 Discussion-heavy continuation of our last packed sessions. 📅 Sep 3rd, 5pm CEST on Zoom! sites.google.com/view/graph-lea…

GLOW is "so back" after the summer break! Tomorrow: an interaction-heavy, plenary session on oversmoothing/squashing, homo/heterophily and their interplay. Tune in! ☺️ (spoiler: prominent researchers on the topics will also join Adrián and Federico in the discussions 😇)

Federico and I are excited to present our work on an alternative perspective of some of the current problems in Graph ML at the GLOW reading group 🌟 Join us in half an hour! (today at 5 pm CEST) 📜arxiv.org/abs/2505.15547 🌐sites.google.com/view/graph-lea…

🚨 Submissions for ALT2026 are now open! Submit your best work and join us in Toronto!🚨 Deadline: October 2 AoE Conference: Feb 23-26, 2026 algorithmiclearningtheory.org/alt2026/

check out this PhD opportunity for female students from Africa at UPF Barcelona : upf.edu/web/phd-engine… i have hired my amazing student Nneka Okolo via this program, which was a great success. hope i can find someone this time as well! let me know if you have any questions

Wanna chat with an experienced learning theory researcher? We have open office hours online with four awesome folks, Surbhi Goel (Surbhi Goel), Gautam Kamath (Gautam Kamath), Ayush Sekhari (Ayush Sekhari), Lydia Zakynthinou (Lydia Zakynthinou)! Book a slot and ask them anything!
