FunAI

🎉[openings] I’m hiring postdoctoral researchers to join our @FunAILab at UTN through the Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship (@AvHStiftung), via the Henriette Herz Scouting Programme. As a Henriette Herz Scout, I can nominate outstanding international researchers for this fellowship route. I’m especially keen to hear from candidates working on multimodal learning, video and image pretraining, and post-training. Fellows would be hosted in our lab at UTN and work closely with us on these topics. Key requirements: * finished your doctoral studies less than 4 years ago or will finish in the next 6 months * did not live/work in Germany in the last 10 years * applications from female, trans* and/or non-binary candidates are highly encouraged! Interested? Please send a short note with your CV, PhD year, current affiliation, 2–3 key publications, and a few lines on how your work connects. Please share! 🔀

Today we visited Japan's hottest AI startup @SakanaAILabs🎏🇯🇵! We met their research scientists and discussed the implications and impact of some their works like "The AI scientist" and "Continous Thought Machines". We presented our @FunAILab works, "Better Language Models Exhibit Higher Visual Alignment" and "Data Repetition Beats Data Scaling in Long-CoT Supervised Fine-Tuning". Got lots of cool questions and discussions! Thanks, Masanori Suganuma, @_yutaroyamada, @ciaran_regan_

My slide deck is feature complete. Finally ready for my European speaking tour 🇪🇺 Plan to record this talk too, once back in my #Toronto home studio.
