the core message of the film <oppenheimer> has become increasingly clearer to me over the past 2 years: it's a warning message about both (often either overzealous or overly cautious) bureaucrats and wanna-be-politicians professors. ... only if i got this message 2+ years ago ...

We’ve received A LOT OF submissions this year 🤯🤯 and are excited to see so much interest! To ensure high-quality review, we are looking for more dedicated reviewers. If you'd like to help, please sign up here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

ICLR 2026 An idea to reduce reviewer load amd redundancy could be a fast track for NeurIPS accepted and then rejected papers with ACs making decisions based on the reviews and meta reviews from NeurIPS since both largely share the reviewer and AC pool. 😄

Nonsense. AlexNet (2012) was similar to DanNet (2011) which won 4 image recognition contests before AlexNet (first superhuman performance in 2011). See people.idsia.ch/~juergen/DanNe…

Our new benchmark to evaluate LLM reasoning! With recent model tested: Gemini and chatGPT are, of course, leading, but open source models are not far behind!

It’s weird how people still blindly copy it. There was a whole paper about this.

Here's your booster dose of AI history and scholarship. The problem with Jürgen Schmidhuber is that there aren't more people like him.

The problem with this line is that any history of neural network science that focuses only on the ideas, while ignoring the quality of evidence given for those ideas, is as incomplete as a history of math that focuses only on the theorems w/o the proofs x.com/SchmidhuberAI/…

Like, I think there’s a strong case to ask for better citation. But it should be recognized that using residuals to get ImageNet SOTA has value in of itself. Otherwise it’s as if Fermat walked on stage with Andrew Wiles and said “guys what’s the big deal, I told you this already”

This seems rather standard. Nothing new except scale. I still wonder about all the noise and emails about pruning the accepted papers. And that is not explained in the post. 😕

📢📢📢 Every #EuriPS workshop now has a webpage and the clock is ticking for the Call for Papers/Participation, many have deadlines on the 10th of Oct! If that was not enough, the co-located ELLIS UnConference also has an open Call for Posters. eurips.cc/workshops/
