After those excellent suggestions, I wonder why not write a script to crawl all my arxiv submissions, update their reference lists with every “relevant” paper, push to arxiv and do this automatically every month.
Sparked by a humorous comment here, I wonder how people self-cite?
I have seen people citing almost every paper they publish, people asking to be cited because of group affiliation, and people who self-cite fairly little, incl. myself. What’s your approach and why?

"He is from [MASK] [MASK]" → "San York"? dLLMs fail because they ignore token dependencies. This Factorization Barrier arises from a structural misspecification: models are restricted to fully factorized outputs. We break this barrier with CoDD, enabling coherent parallel generation. 🚀

If you missed the @auai.org deadline but have some awesome work you wanna share with the world, #ProbML submissions deadline is just around the corner! And it’s in Seoul 🇰🇷, meaning good food is guaranteed.
In light of the current funding situation (worldwide), a modest proposal: instead of pouring billions of dollars into GenAI claiming "it *could* accelerate science and research," consider putting 1% of that amount in what *will* accelerate science and research. Namely, funding science and research.
Same here. In the past, I used Vim almost exclusively, but now that I don’t do this anymore, I am out of training and not fast enough for larger code bases.

I would definitely agree and have been telling folks this for a long time, but stopped as the Python fan base can be somewhat difficult at times.
There seems to be some reasonably active library on this out there: github.com/THU-BPM/Mark..., which again I have not tested.
Watermarking LLM output is of course not bulletproof, but seems to gain some adoption. So I assume it works to some extent. (I am not an expert on this)
There are several approaches for this (see watermarking LLMs), some of which are actively used by major ML conferences, notably ICML is one of them. I don’t know which ones are the best and would need to look into it myself too.
The #ECCV2026 paper registration deadline is THIS WEEK!
NO registration by the deadline → NO submission. NO exceptions.
Deadline details are available on the webpage.
Deadlines: eccv.ecva.net/Conferences/...
Two days to StanCon 202 oral presentation abstract submission deadline!!!
Probably, but it also makes it much easier to identify those that are “cheating” (assuming LLM use is not allowed) by watermarking assignments.
A list of robot benchmarks and datasets and some notes on them! A quick blog post to give some color to my last few posts on how robot policy evaluation is done
Benchmarking robotics is an interesting topic with still no good answers. open.substack.com/pub/itcanthi...

What do you use for the slides? Asking for a friend.
I think composable models are the future, and it would be great to have more tools for building composable models. This is a nice talk about the benefits
From the years I lived in Wien, I can confirm that Austria is the motherland of titles.
Same here 🙈
🚨 Just over a week to go! Submissions close on February 25.
✨ There's still time to submit: but don't miss it!

If anyone ever tries to recruit me to move to London, they can wine and dine and try to impress me, or they can just take me to my favorite bookstore, Foyles, and remind me that these two stacks are next to each other.
Erinnerungspolitische Bezüge in Rubios Rede werden mit Gaulands "Vogelschiss" verglichen. Doch Rubio geht weiter: Europa liegt bei ihm völlig unvermittelt "in ruins", der NS spielt in seiner Geschichtspolitik nicht mal mehr eine Vogelschiss-Rolle, er bleibt ganz außen vor.

Guidelines on "Generative AI Considerations" have been clarified accordingly here: icml.cc/Conferences/.... If you have further questions, don't hesitate to reach out to the program chairs at program-chairs@icml.cc.
And happy Valentine's Day from ICML! ❤️ 4/4
There has been some online discussion of prompt watermarks in ICML submissions.
tl;dr:
- Yes, this is one of the *conference*'s (several) scientific integrity measures
- Yes, it's not infalliable (but it still helps)
- No, your paper won't be desk rejected as a result 1/4
