1/7 Excited to share my last PhD article, just accepted to ICML 2026! In it, we (me, Alexandre Payeur, Guillaume Lajoie) used dynamical systems theory to study "local" learning in linear recurrent neural networks. See link for the paper, and thread for a brief summary. arxiv.org/abs/2606.00243
Roof terrace garden breather while everything burns...may Dublin stay peaceful (the threats erupt a little occasionally. but so far this is a better place to be than the UK). Poppies of a kind I haven't seen before.

I went to Utah to see what life is like in America's new reality, where vaccine-preventable diseases are common again.
Utah's measles outbreak has lasted 10 months. Pediatricians teared up in interviews. Mothers were stressed.

An investigation into the sexual misconduct allegations against the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has found he engaged in “serious misconduct” and a “breach of duty.”
Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a common psychiatric disorder characterized by psychosis, emotional withdrawal, and cognitive deficits. Most SCZ risk variants reside in non-coding regions of the genome and are...
Ethnic cleansing. What Israel is doing in Lebanon is called ethnic cleansing
Israel’s ongoing wave of attacks on Lebanon began on March 2. Despite a ceasefire agreement on April 17, the violence has continued.
Over the past one hundred days, thousands of people have been killed and over a million have been forcibly displaced.
