Universities and research labs in the free world need to step up their hiring game. Big opportunity to snap up top talent right now.

My home institution @ipparis.bsky.social might soon recruit tenure-track researchers in AI. It's a 4-year contract with a decent salary and starting package. Keywords: machine learning, optimization, game theory, with applications to transport & mobility. Please reach out in DM if interested.

I am furious that negative polarization is coercing me to defend 60% indirect cost rates.

OK! My Google colleague Thang Luong shared some exciting updates about AlphaGeometry2! AG2 now has surpassed the average gold-medalist in solving Olympiad geometry problems, w/ a solve rate of 84% compared to 54% previously! Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2502.03544 See full list of authors on link

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

@neuripsconf.bsky.social Given the growing danger of the US to everybody, I think it is time to consider if conferences should, for the foreseeable future, move to places where all of our colleagues, no matter their race, gender, etc are welcome. At this point I expect at least a statement.

I think that @amstatnews.bsky.social should say something about such an open data manipulation at large scale - what government data can we now trust? www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Hypothesis: most researchers get fewer international invitations than Timothy Gowers. Conclusion: most researchers don’t need to fly. Caveat: this is a lot easier in countries with functional railways and active research communities. Which is why academics in these countries must lead the way.

Now that it's 2025, I can celebrate having got through 2024 without flying. To do this I had to turn down a number of interesting invitations, and I also made three trips by train (two to the south of France and one to Berlin) that would have been cheaper and quicker to do by plane.

Very very proud and humbled that my two former PhD advisors were both elected to the French National Academies this year. Gérard Biau to the French Academy of Sciences: bsky.app/profile/acad... Jean-Philippe Vert to the French Academy of Technologies Funny coincidence and amazing job!!!

Do machine learning researchers need intercontinental flights to prove their worth? Or can we rethink our customs so that academic impact doesn’t require excessive CO2 emissions? If you believe such change is possible, local meetups for @neuripsconf.bsky.social and other events are the way to go!

AISTATS reviews are out. Out of a very representative sample of one (1) paper, it seems like reviews are both higher quality and a bit less picky than at NeurIPS/ICML/ICLR. Feels nice 😊.
