I'll be at #ICML2026 in Seoul next week presenting three works with some great collaborators. Quick rundown in this thread. Come say hi if you're around, always happy to chat!

The takes on Terry Tao being unemployed seem to me to be an expression of mediocrity and resentment, from people who have never tasted dedication to something higher than themselves. The guy is not going to lose his job. He is forever in the Hall of Fame. If he was purely selfish, he'd be grinning that he got on the train right before it crumbled.
Maybe, just maybe, he's sad to see something he cared about potentially crumble, instead of being self- interestedly afraid "for his job".
My LLM benchmark is how ridiculous it can make some themes for my personal website. Old ones made with ChatGPT 5.5 and Opus 4.6 were ok but kinda slop. Opus 5.5 is peak. Even added ascii art and background sounds lol (before->after screenshots)

And thatโs a wrap on Romanian AI Days 2026! ๐ท๐ด๐
A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who made Romanian AI Days 2026 possible: our speakers, sponsors, organizers and attendees! You made this edition an unforgettable milestone! ๐ค
Here are the key takeaways from Day 2 ๐งต:
Every time you refresh, OpenReview adds +1 minute to the wait before your #NeurIPS reviews drop.
Why are workshops usually after the main conf? ML conferences got so big that it can be a struggle to find people interested about the same topics. Workshops feel like the only place where this is still possible, would be nicer to have them before the main conf @icmlconf

Happy that GraphBench has been accepted as an oral at the GFM workshop @ICML. ๐
We also updated GraphBench๐:
- Extensive documentation๐,
- more baselines๐,
- bugfixes๐ชฒ,
- extended 80+ page preprint ๐ฐ(arxiv.org/abs/2512.04475).
Check it out: graphbench.io/.
How the Optimizer Shapes Learned Solutions in Equivariant Neural Networks, at the ICML WSS Workshop. Swapping optimizers changes the solutions of equivariant nets, down to the loss geometry and spectra. With Teodor Stupariu, who did this as a highschool intern at @Bitdefender ๐คฏ

See you in Seoul! ๐ฐ๐ท
I was starting to wonder if I was getting rusty, it's been a while since I received one of these. Thanks for the recognition, @icmlconf! ๐ซก

I respect that @iclr_conf had to respond to the OR leak, but I disagree with resetting scores. Many students worked hard on rebuttals and improved their papers in good faith. I hope the organizers reconsider and revert the reset. If you agree, feel free to retweet.

ChronoGraph (w/ A. Lutu, I. Pintilie & @ilarele) is a real-world dataset of microservice telemetry that links multivariate time series with a dependency graph and incident labels, enabling evaluation of forecasting and anomaly detection methods under propagation effects.

Inspired by JEPA, C-FREE (w/ B. Ariguib & @mniepert) uses a predictive objective over egonets spanning 2D and 3D graphs, avoiding negatives, reconstructions, and augmentations. This simple multimodal design delivers strong results from low- to large-scale regimes. ๐ฌ ๐งต6/9
