I like to think that eventually an AI agent can decide how an object should move, and the right robots will make it happen.
My student Bikram Pandit is making progress toward this with teams of humanoids: decmht.github.io/
Can’t wait to see what we can do with hands.

The mark of a great professor isn’t just the papers they publish. It’s the people they help build.
I’ve been asked several times whether Zhilin Yang, the founder of @Kimi_Moonshot was my PhD student. The answer is yes and he is absolutely brilliant.
But I’ve been incredibly fortunate to work with so many outstanding PhD students over the years. So I thought I’d brag a little about them and their career paths (of course there are also many MSc and undergraduate students, sorry if I missed anyone):

My teacher and friend Dimitri Bertsekas passed away earlier this month. I wrote about his broad contributions to the field of numerical optimization and his deep impact on my writing and research. argmin.net/p/a-tribute-to-di…

Congratulations to Kaiming and ResNet. ResNet is 10 years old but Kaiming remains as young and brilliant as ever! We are deeply grateful for you and for everything you have done for computer vision, Kaiming (though he refuses to be on social media)

Avi Wigderson is the only person in history to have won both a Turing Award (computer science) and Abel Prize (math). I interviewed him all about his field. We discussed:
• His intuition on a proof of P vs NP
• Why we use SAT solvers for most NP problems
• Zero knowledge proofs and their impact
• Quantum computation and implications
• Math and computer science's relationship

Attention @arxiv authors: Our Code of Conduct states that by signing your name as an author of a paper, each author takes full responsibility for all its contents, irrespective of how the contents were generated. 1/

Excited to see my student’s work on Flux Matching out. It turns out you can learn a much broader class of vector fields with the data distribution as stationary (not just the score). This lets you enforce useful properties like fast mixing, and it already works on high-dimensional image datasets!
Introducing Flux Matching, a generative modeling paradigm that generalizes diffusion models to vector fields that need not be the score function.
Enables structural priors in the dynamics, faster sampling, interpretable generation, and more!

Ten years in academia and the best part has not been what many value most ie freedom to pursue your ideas. It’s experiencing your students grow and go on to incredible trajectories.
What I’ve come to know about myself is that I value permanence, presence, and people. And for all the illusions that institutions, titles, awards etc offer, none at all come close to this: watching a human absorb, even in tiny amounts, the care and effort you’ve put into trying your best to just be there for them.
We have extended the paper submission deadline for our @icmlconf workshop to May 7th AOE due to NeurIPS paper deadline.
