My PhD thesis "Deep Learning with Graph-Structured Representations" is now available for download: hdl.handle.net/11245.1/1b63b9… -- It covers a range of emerging topics in Deep Learning: from graph neural nets (and graph convolutions) to structure discovery (objects, relations, events)

A bit of a delayed career update: I have been promoted to full professor! It has been a tremendous journey since I started my faculty position in 2018. I want to thank everyone who has helped me along this process. I’m especially thankful to my students, mentors and collaborators for pushing the frontiers of AI+Science research together. I’m deeply grateful for the unconditional support from my family and friends. Now to the next chapter! 🍻

Confession: I never had a single work-related sleepless night or ever pulled an all-nighter during my career incl. PhD. Don’t sacrifice your health. Sleep is a superpower — your brain on 8hrs of sleep is a lot smarter than your brain on sleep deprivation. Don’t listen to people who tell you to chronically sacrifice sleep for work. Sacrificing sleep for your kids/family is a different story.

@npparikh I doubt all those things are really possible. Infact I believe, you are not doing a good PhD unless you have sleepless nights. Definitely just working on your thesis is possible if you follow a 9-6 schedule, but a good PhD which involves exploring, colabs, etc needs extra hours

@nomad421 Yep. International travel is maybe another nuance I should have added here.

I agree that it's foolish (and counterproductive) to do this chronically. If you sacrifice your health for your productivity, you'll likely end up with neither. But if you've not burned the midnight oil at least a few times, I think you've missed out on a useful experience.

@SarveshGharat12 @3scorciav My recommendation: learn to ruthlessly prioritize. And make sleep a top priority -- you can still work long hours if you optimize other things in your life (like spending less time on this platform 😬).

@3scorciav @tkipf It is just that, I enjoying exploring things alongside doing thesis, and end up taking a lot of stuff eg; After recent NIPS submission, I along with a collaborator had to write a research grant, recently active with Kaggle competitions, a couple of ARR submissions.

Personal news: I‘ve been promoted to Staff Research Scientist at DeepMind. The past year has been a crazy ride pushing the frontier of physics and AI with the team. Super excited about where we’re headed. 🧑‍🍳

convolutions? GANs? DCGANs? might as well give the test of time to some kernel-based learning work

Alec Radford is very much deserving many awards, test of time or otherwise. but this particular paper and the techniques presented within... didnt quite survive the test of time, from what i can tell. no?
Fazl Barez@FazlBarez

Alex Radford (@AlecRad) just won one of the test of time awards at #ICLR 2026 So great to see this! Proof that impactful work doesn’t have to depend on having a PhD 🙌🙌

This week on The Information Bottleneck, we are hosting @wellingmax 🥳🥳🥳 Max is one of the most influential ML researchers of the last two decades - Professor at UvA, ex-VP at Qualcomm and MSR, co-founder of ELLIS, two Test of Time awards, and advisor to a long line of people who shaped modern generative modeling (@dpkingma, @TacoCohen , @tkipf). His own work is behind a lot of the machinery the field is still building on - VAEs, graph convolutional networks, and equivariant neural networks, to name a few. He's now CTO and co-founder of CuspAI, designing new materials for carbon capture and PFAS removal using generative models plus physics-based simulation. What would you ask him? Drop questions below.

To build multi-player games with video models, we likely need a map. One challenge here is the action binding problem, which we solve with simple RoPE-based attention biasing. While existing multi-actor models specilize in one game, we generalize to 46 games and diverse actions!
Alexander Pondaven@alexpondaven

Introducing ActionParty: the first video world model that controls up to 7 players simultaneously on the same screen across 46 game environments. We tackle the action binding problem in video diffusion, ensuring each player's action is applied to the right subject. 🧵
