Good morning #ICLR2026 ☀️
The Re-Align workshop kicks off in under an hour! A full day on what we can actually do with representational alignment, from brains to language models to agents.
Schedule in the thread 👇
Join us! We are opening many postdoc positions both in London and in Gothenburg!
London

📅 deadline: March 26th
Gothenburg

📅 deadline: April 1st
Excited to launch Principia, a nonprofit research organisation at the intersection of deep learning theory and AI safety.
Our goal is to develop theory for modern machine learning systems that can help us understand complex network behaviors, including those critical for AI safety and alignment.

#CCN2026 Proceedings submissions are open and due in *two* weeks! Info about how to submit in the thread below👇
Come share your science and hang out in NYC in August. :)
I'm on the academic job market!
I design and analyze probabilistic machine-learning methods---motivated by real-world scientific constraints, and developed in collaboration with scientists in biology, chemistry, and physics.
A few highlights of my research areas are:
Nature Sci Rep publishes incoherent AI slop. eLife publishes a paper which the reviewers didn't agree with, making all the comments and responses public with thoughtful commentary. One of these journals got delisted by Web of Science for quality concerns from not doing peer review. Guess which one?
@dataonbrainmind.bsky.social starting now in Room 10 with opening remarks from @crji.bsky.social and the first invited talk from @dyamins.bsky.social!
