Outstanding paper 🏆 1: Fast Controlled Generation from Language Models with Adaptive Weighted Rejection Sampling openreview.net/forum?id=3BmPS…

An exciting milestone for AI in science: Our C2S-Scale 27B foundation model, built with @Yale and based on Gemma, generated a novel hypothesis about cancer cellular behavior, which scientists experimentally validated in living cells.  With more preclinical and clinical tests, this discovery may reveal a promising new pathway for developing therapies to fight cancer.

Our paper “What Makes Treatment Effects Identifiable? Characterizations and Estimators Beyond Unconfoundedness” received the Best Paper Award at COLT 2025! Huge shout-out to my amazing collaborators: Alkis Kalavasis, Katerina Mamali, @AnayMehrotra, and Manolis Zampetakis.

Honored to receive the @NSF CAREER Award for my project on Neural Operator Learning for Biomedical Discovery! A huge thank you to my students, collaborators, mentors, and @Yale for their unwavering support! #NSFCAREER @YaleCSDept @YaleEngineering @YaleCardiology @YaleMed nsf.gov/awardsearch/sh…

We’re announcing the 87 professors selected for the 2025 Google Research Scholar Program — join us in congratulating these exceptional recipients and learn more about their groundbreaking work at goo.gle/rs-recipients. #GoogleResearch #GoogleResearchScholar

We're excited to share that @spurtest has raised $4.5M, led by @firstround to allow teams to own high quality testing We've partnered with some of the most customer centric companies like @wander @ycombinator @LivingSpaces @flynorse to deliver the best user experiences

How does complexity shape intelligence? 🤔 In our new paper Intelligence at the Edge of Chaos, we explore the relationship between complex systems and the emergence of intelligence in AI models. Can complexity alone unlock smarter systems? 🌌🧠 #AI #complexity arxiv.org/abs/2410.02536
