Can AI make tasks faster โ yet slow down the workflow?
In our new paper with Silvia Bartolucci from @uclfincomp, "Queue & AI: When Faster Tasks Slow Down the Workflow", we show why average task speed can be misleading. [arxiv.org/abs/2605.27202]
An important result on PCA recovery thresholds in low-rank matrix inference using the replica method, from our own @urteado and @PierpaoloVivo in collaboration with @gabrielescr . Check it out on the arXiv [arxiv.org/abs/2511.11927] ๐
๐จ NEW PHASE TRANSITION ALERT ๐จ
We just posted a paper on arXiv that extends the famous BBP transition to the case of sparse noise!
The "ASV transition" shows when PCA can recover signals from sparse corruption - beyond classical random matrix theory. [arxiv.org/abs/2511.11927]
๐จ Exciting news! Our project on AI in the justice system, co-led with @C_Hyde_V , has been funded by OKIF! ๐
Weโll build a prototype AI tool for magistrates, drive public engagement, and shape ethical AI in law. More here ๐ kcl.ac.uk/research/the-futurโฆ#AI#AlgorithmicJustice
๐Kingโs awards over ยฃ500k to nine projects tackling global challenges!
Weโre excited to unveil the second round of funded projects, bringing researchers and the community together to co-develop solutions to todayโs biggest challenges.
