At #ACL2025 this week! Please reach out if you want to chat :)
We have two lovely posters:
Tues Session 2, 10:30-11:50 — Large Language Models Struggle to Describe the Haystack without Human Help
Wed Session 4 11:00-12:30 — ProxAnn: Use-Oriented Evaluations of Topic Models and Document Clustering
this looks terrific, very excited to read
Accepted to EMNLP (and more to come 👀)! The camera ready version is now online---very happy with how this turned out

RL for real-world applications = offline learning + reward learning. How do we make this work?
Find out more at ICLR poster #377 at 10am today!
@gioramponi.bsky.social and I will be presenting our latest work on offline preference-based RL (joint w/ @gxxxr.bsky.social and Bernhard Schölkopf).
It was a pleasure to share my research with the Nordic research community! If you missed it, the recording will soon be online on RISE’s YouTube channel. In the meantime, check out the great many talks that came before: lnkd.in/dEnZpVAe and the upcoming @climateainordics.com workshop.
🎉 Today, @ddmitriev.bsky.social, our second PhD Fellow of the @eth-ai-center.bsky.social, graduated! He was supervised by ETH AI Center Faculty members Prof. Fanny Yang and Prof. Afonso Bandeira. Congratulations, Dr. Daniil Dmitriev! Next, he will join @upenn.edu as a Postdoctoral Researcher.
[1/2]Our work “Learning to steer Markovian Agents under Model Uncertainty” explores the problem of steering (unknown) learning dynamics in Markov Games towards desirable outcomes (e.g. Pareto optimal Nash).
My co-author Jiawei Huang is presenting it at ICLR on Apr 24, 3:00-5:30pm GMT+8, Poster #401.

We've released our lecture notes for the course Probabilistic AI at ETH Zurich, covering uncertainty in ML and its importance for sequential decision making. Thanks a lot to @jonhue.bsky.social for his amazing effort and to everyone who contributed! We hope this resource is useful to you!
✨New Preprint ✨ Ever thought that reconstructing masked pixels for image representation learning seems sub-optimal?
In our new preprint, we show how masking principal components—rather than raw pixel patches— improves Masked Image Modelling (MIM).
