Hello everyone; please follow me on astrotoka dot 🐝-🌌 dot social

🚨 FINAL REMINDER 🚨: Multiple Postdoc and PhD positions in our AI + Physics cluster in DAMTP, Cambridge! Deadlines: - Postdoc: Jan 5th (Sunday) - PhD: Jan 7th (Tuesday) More info below – Please share with researchers and students who might be interested in joining us!

Registrations are now open!!! We encourage abstract submissions from everyone, including students, early-career researchers and outreach professionals. Abstracts submission deadline: 20 December 2024. Register here: conference.afasociety.org #afas2025 #africalookup

Are you interested in doing a PhD in cosmology with me @ift_uam_csic? Subject: "Exploring fundamental physics with next-generation cosmic microwave background and large-scale structure surveys" See: ift.uam-csic.es/en/jobs/la-cai… 📆 Deadline: January 23, 2025

Diffusion models are so ubiquitous, but it's difficult to find an introduction that is concise, simple and comprehensive. My supervisor Rich Turner (with me & some other students) has written an introduction to diffusion models that fills this gap: arxiv.org/abs/2402.04384

We're hiring PhD students for 2025! If you're passionate about ML research in robustness, reasoning, interpretability, self-supervised learning, or theoretical foundations, we'd love to hear from you! 1/4

@AstroJasmine_ @aotbonn Wow hahah I only found out about them after coming here in 2021, it must have been fun!! Thank you 🥰🥰🌌

Thanks a lot @aotbonn for having me and giving me this opportunity🥰 I had so much fun giving my first public science talk ever with you!

how a phd should be defended!

@abs_WaleedM right? it was one of my dreams hahaha :'D

thinking about how no one in this universe except those who study physics would know such fun existed in this life

I am offering a 4 year PhD position to work on quantum algorithms for many-body problems, to stat in Winter of 2025. Please do forward the announcement to potentially interested candidates! ift.uam-csic.es/en/jobs/phd-po…

Our internship program at Polymathic is open for opportunities from now through fall 2025! I believe our program provides an opportunity to work alongside some of the best researchers and engineering experts in the world — exploring the unknown of building foundation models for science, together. These are full-time and paid positions in the Big Apple! Interested? 👇 forms.gle/Jm9v4VxJrna7VR… Deadline Nov 5!

I'm recruiting PhD students this year with strong interest in NLP! If you are interested in understanding how we use language to effectively communicate, and how those insights translate to NLP models, apply to join the @CoalasLab at UCLA. Continue reading for details! (1/5)

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

I did no math obviously but I have a but under 1000 paper stars left and I hope that 1. this is more than enough 2. the jar is exactly full when I finish (would be so satisfying) 8x4 months left (hopefully 🤞🏻)!!

what 4 months of PhD (days I showed up to the office minus ~30 days when I didn't have paper stars yet) look like in my "progress jar of paper stars" ⭐✨🌟🌠💫 disappointing? exciting? I have no idea but I feel so much like Oh God this will be such a long way 😅
