We learn more expressive mixture models that can subtract probability density by squaring them 🚨We show squaring can reduce expressiveness To tackle this we build sum of squares circuits🆘 🚀We explain why complex parameters help, and show an expressiveness hierarchy around🆘

AI people going on about Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma like it was discovered yesterday. it’s just another example of how most folks don’t read or know anything more than 5 years old

Happy to share a major milestone: after years of development, we are officially launching Version 1.0 of the GeometricKernels library! To top it off, our accompanying paper has just been published in JMLR (MLOSS)! 🎉 github.com/geometric-kernels…

We're glad to announce the NeSy 2025 Test of Time award for "Probabilistic Inference Modulo Theories"! 🏆Rodrigo de Salvo Braz was here to accept the award. This is groundwork for recent NeSy approaches like DeepSeaProbLog and the probabilistic algebraic layer.

Insightful! We tackled the same problem in Knowledge Graph Completion. Dot-product scoring on low-dim embeddings severely limits what a model can predict. We call this a “rank bottleneck” to align with the existing LM literature. Our paper for context: arxiv.org/abs/2506.22271

Spotlight poster coming soon at #ICML2025 @icmlconf! 📌East Exhibition Hall A-B E-1806 🗓️Wed 16 Jul 4:30 p.m. PDT — 7 p.m. PDT 📜arxiv.org/pdf/2410.12537 Let’s chat! I’m always up for conversations about knowledge graphs, reasoning, neuro-symbolic AI, and benchmarking.
🚨Is complex query answering really complex?🚨 unfortunately not! the current benchmarks boil down to link prediction 98% of the time... how to fix this??? 👇👇👇 📜arxiv.org/abs/2410.12537 with @c_gregucci @BoXiongs @loreloc_ @PMinervini @ststaab

We developed a library to make logical reasoning embarrassingly parallel on the GPU. For those at ICLR 🇸🇬: you can get the juicy details tomorrow (poster #414 at 15:00). Hope to see you there!
