Excited to announce our latest (submitted to) SIGBOVIK 2026 @sigbovik paper: "SchmidhubAI: Accurate Historical Paper Attribution". We built an AI system that, given any modern AI paper, automatically determines which of its ideas were already published by Jürgen Schmidhuber.

The entire system is implemented as a CLAUDE.md file. Zero lines of executable code. Joint work with @VisionBernie. Paper: www-users.york.ac.uk/~waps10…

To be clear: Schmidhuber genuinely has made enormous contributions to AI. The humour is affectionate. We fully expect him to respond with a thread explaining how he anticipated this paper in 1987.

I am delighted (that pun will make sense in a second) that @AlistairFoggin's first paper, CroCoDiLight, has been accepted to ICLR. The idea came from a group discussion on the CroCo paper from @naverlabseurope and realising it might implicitly already understand relighting.
Very excited to announce my first paper, CroCoDiLight! Co-authored with @WillSmithVision and accepted at #ICLR2026.
Image relighting, shadow removal, and albedo estimation, all in our single base model with swappable task components.
See you in Rio @iclr_conf! [1/7]
ALT Teaser image for CroCoDiLight paper. Three panels showing the same scene of a street in three different lighting conditions: sunny with shadows, even lighting without shadows, and night time with lights switched on. A badge for ICLR 2026 is in the bottom right, and CroCoDiLight is in big letters across the top.

The lighting representation is in image space so you can use it for things like lighting stabilisation or temporal upsampling in timelapse videos and lighting interpolation, but not currently for transferring lighting from one viewpoint to another - this is future work!

So, we wrote a neural net library entirely in LaTeX...

Are you tired of context-switching between coding models in @__tinygrad__ and paper writing on @overleaf.
Well, I’ve got the fix for you, Neuralatex! An ML library written in pure Latex!

To appear in @sigbovik (subject to rigorous review process)

This has been a massively entertaining and challenging side project with @JADGardner and @WillRowan3 over the past year and (subject to rigorous peer review) will be appearing at @sigbovik 2025.
