Following numerous requests, we've decided to extend the submission deadline for the @NeurIPSConf workshop on Recent Advances in Time Series Foundation Models! 📜New deadline: August 29 🌐 Openreview link: lnkd.in/ed2T3vaR

Excited to announce a call for papers for our workshop on time series foundation models @NeurIPSConf, with an amazing lineup of speakers. See the post below for more details on where to submit (deadline: 22nd of August).

How can we circumvent data scarcity in the time series domain? We propose to leverage pretrained ViTs (e.g., CLIP, DINOv2) for time series classification and outperform time series foundation models (TSFMs). 📄 Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2506.08641 💻 Code: github.com/ExplainableML/…

Our ML Theory group is looking forward to welcoming @AmbroiseOdonnat next week on Thursday, June 19th for a session on "Large Language Models as Markov Chains"

This is incredible!! Way to go America 🇺🇲 Supporters of Ukraine have unfurled the world's largest Ukrainian flag on the White House ellipse, pushing for the U.S. to continue its aid against the russian invasion: "Do not abandon Ukraine!"

The death toll won’t wait. While the Trump administration has paused U.S. military aid to Ukraine, and medical supplies were withheld from military logistics, frontline medics are still fighting to save lives. Support Leleka Foundation to help them. givebutter.com/AYZpPQ

While President Trump was speaking to Congress about Russia’s signals for peace, Russia attacked Ukrainian cities with over 180 drones and ballistic missiles, destroying homes and killing civilians. The only signals Ukrainians heard tonight were air raid sirens and explosions.

Countless emails asking how Americans can directly aid Ukrainian soldiers. Here’s an easy answer: savelife.in.ua/en/

Kudos to @Vasya2104 who led this project! Let us know if you used MANTIS by putting a star on github.com/vfeofanov/mant… and feel free to open PRs or issues if something is wrong.

Finally, MANTIS efficiently runs on high-dimensional datasets due to the natural support of fine-tunable adapters

Our team open-sourced MANTIS: a foundation model for time series classification. It is lightweight, more efficient than competitors, and supports feature extraction mode without fine-tuning. Arxiv: arxiv.org/abs/2502.15637 Code: huggingface.co/paris-noah/Man… A quick thread 👇

Living organisms organize as loosely coupled hierarchies—while our AI systems remain rigid monoliths. What if we built AI that scales and adapts like biological systems instead? What would an AI like this look like? 🧵 1/9

🚀 Policy gradient methods like DeepSeek’s GRPO are great for finetuning LLMs via RLHF. But what happens when we swap autoregressive generation for discrete diffusion, a rising architecture promising faster & more controllable LLMs? Introducing Score Entropy Policy Optimization (SEPO) !
