🔬✨ Journée des Femmes et des filles de science✨🔬 À travers leurs parcours inspirants et leurs engagements, les académiciennes, et toutes les femmes et filles de science façonnent la recherche d’aujourd’hui et de demain. Pour aller plus loin : urls.fr/PK5xg9

If you're curious of what is "behind a term sheet", don't miss this account by the Cathay innovation team who led our recent series A at Bioptimus medium.com/cathay-innov...

An inspirational talk by Michael Jordan: a refreshing, deep, and forward-looking vision for AI beyond LLMs. www.youtube.com/live/W0QLq4q...

Learning rate schedules seem mysterious? Why is the loss going down so fast during cooldown? Turns out that this behaviour can be described with a bound from *convex, nonsmooth* optimization. A short thread on our latest paper đźšž arxiv.org/abs/2501.18965

Early stopping on validation loss? This leads to suboptimal calibration and refinement errors—but you can do better! With @dholzmueller.bsky.social, Michael I. Jordan, and @bachfrancis.bsky.social, we propose a method that integrates with any model and boosts classification performance across tasks.

I've been eagerly awaiting this book for years! At last, a standalone and meticulous exposition of the current mathematical principles of machine learning, adorned with beautiful proofs. Well done and thank you, @bachfrancis.bsky.social . Discover more here: francisbach.com/my-book-is-o...

A happy author discovering the first hard copies

My book is (at last) out, just in time for Christmas! A blog post to celebrate and present it: francisbach.com/my-book-is-o...
