At HK this week - the Uni campus is jaw dropping, and when it rains it actually feels good. Is this even legal?

What's the Magic Word? A Control Theory of LLM Prompting arxiv.org/abs/2310.04444 Solid take by Bhargava et al, showcased on Machine Learning Street Talk Application of this on AlphaFold2 could be insane - let's say you want to design a new antibody with a RNA sequence that's not patented.

Teams of Hungary took 5th and 6th place in the first International Olympiad in AI taking the top 2 spots for silver 🥈. Congrats to the participants who brought a lot of self-taught expertise, adaptibility to the event continuing to build our tradition of problem solving. 🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺

Call For Tasks for IOAI 2025: ML olympiad for high schoolers. I know you all have strong opinions on the ML topics future computer scientists should engage with to build mastery. This is a high-impact opportunity to help us by proposing tasks. ioai-official.org/call-for-tasks/

Yay 🦜 Heading to Vancouver on Monday to present my first ever NeurIPS Conference paper. I am super duper excited to finally join the cool kids’ gang. Check out the tutorial I procrastinated over for 3 months: youtu.be/EbPrlGkLxGo?si…

Amazing experience with the prettiest view NeurIPS Conference presenting Label Delay botcs.github.io/label-delay/ the original session was 3 hours - stayed 2h more for follow-up questions, people's interest in the topic was way above my expectations :) feeling awesome!

oh my! real art is not running off the edge of the world but stopping where everyone else walks past
