"When do GFlowNets Learn the Right Distribution?" is accepted at ICLR 2025! 🎉
We explore:🔹How balance violations impact learned distributions; 🔹 Why some distributions are inherently unattainable;🔹 A new, theoretically grounded assessment metric.

Planning to think about what to do next over the holidays? I am hiring postdocs to my group in Helsinki, in combinations of the following:
- foundations of (prob) ML
- distribution shifts
- AI-assistance with computationally rational user models
- applic in synth biol, biodesign
FCAI is looking for Postdocs, Research fellows, and PhD students in Machine learning and AI
1) Reinforcement learning
2) Probabilistic methods
3) Simulation-based inference
4) Privacy-preserving machine learning
5) Collaborative AI and human modeling
6) ML for science
Postdoc, research fellow and PhD positions: the call to join the Finnish Center for #ArtificialIntelligence is now open. Check out our research areas and supervisors and apply by Feb 2, 2025:

🌟 Spotlight Paper at #NeurIPS2024! 🌟
Making AI models more robust just got easier! Our paper introduces DAMP - a simple yet powerful method that helps neural networks handle corrupted images better, without hurting performance on clean data.
Optimizing decision utility in Bayesian experimental design is key to improving downstream decision-making.
Excited to share our #NeurIPS2024 paper on Amortized Decision-Aware Bayesian Experimental Design: arxiv.org/abs/2411.02064@AcerbiLuigi@samikaski@FCAI_fi
Details below.
🚨New speaker alert!
We're excited to announce Tom Griffiths @cocosci_lab as one of our keynote speakers ✨
Don't miss this opportunity to connect & share your ideas. 📢 Submissions are open until the 25th of November!

This time I'll be recruiting an outstanding PhD student, to be co-supervised with @SamiKaski, for a cool project on learning theory and methods for novel types of distributional shifts. The successful candidate will be based at @csmcr ✨
Get in touch if interested!
One more week time to apply to ELLIS PhD Program, DL Nov 15, 2024
I am recruiting this year in particular to my Helsinki team which will shortly be an even better place with the new ELLIS Institute Finland. But feel free to apply to my UK team as well, and let's discuss.
Exciting news! Finland to establish the 2nd ELLIS Institute, supported by gov't & industry. 🇫🇮Coordinated by @FCAI_fi, @AaltoUniversity & ELLIS Unit Helsinki, this initiative strengthens Europe's AI ecosystem. #ELLISforEuropebit.ly/3YuuIoa
The new ELLIS Institute is excellent news for Europe and Finland. A significant investment to the future of Europe - its growth, and security of supply of expertise. Visionary act by Finnish Government, Ministry of Education and Culture, and Peter Sarlin!
ELLIS Institute Finland is launching with public (@okmfi) and private support (@petersarlin) 🤝 A significant boost for AI R&D and a signal that Finland is investing in AI to attract the best talents and fuel growth & expertise in Europe.

I want to highlight another item in addition to Arno who is clearly a rising star if not a star already: A future rising star @DaolangHuang was a runner-up in the race. We will certainly hear more of him later! (Sorry to induce pressure on you Daolang...)
.@AIFinlandHQ has recognized Arno Solin as the AI researcher of the year 🎉 @arnosolin leads the deep learning research program at FCAI as well as the Finnish Doctoral Program in AI (a network of 10 Finnish universities coordinated by @AaltoUniversity). Congrats Arno!
