The Computer and Software Engineering Dept. at Polytechnique Montreal is hiring for a tenure-track faculty position in Trustworthy AI! Eligible candidates will be nominated to become affiliated with Mila - Institut québécois d'IA! Link to the official call in the next tweet! Deadline: 8 April

This should be a fun day with a mix of AI research talks from industry and academic stars, keynotes including one on "AI and Trust" from a world-renowned security and privacy specialist, another from a deep-learning pioneer, and a forward-looking panel with three AI leaders!

*Towards Modular LLMs by Building and Reusing a Library of LoRAs* by Edoardo Ponti Laurent Charlin Lucas Caccia Alessandro Sordoni A way to zero-shot merge a collection of LoRAs on novel tasks (per-token and per-layer). Very cool! arxiv.org/abs/2405.11157

Are you working on compositionality (including modularity) in the context of large-scale modelling or continual learning? Consider contributing to this workshop (the deadline is Sept. 10).

Come work with Chris Pal and me on a research project toward creating an assistant to help researchers write the literature reviews of scientific papers. A collaboration with ServiceNow AI Research and Mila - Institut québécois d'IA Details are here: mila.quebec/en/news/call-f… Deadline: Sept. 1

Wearing butterfly socks today in honour of Sasha Luccioni, PhD 🦋🌎✨🤗 being recognized as one of the top 100 AI people in the world! Congrats again!!!

Come study with us at Mila! I will be looking for new students to work with. Our current projects explore continual learning, modularity, scrutability, algorithm discovery, AI for law (reasoning), invariances, and decision-making...

Consider submitting your CL-related work to CoLLAs 2025 (deadline Feb: 21)!

Thank you so much CIFAR for your continued support through the AI Chair Program. It's an honour! It allows me to recruit fantastic students and spend more time doing research. I look forward to contributing to the success of the program. Congrats to my colleagues!
