Couldn't be happier to announce my new paper on defining compositional structure — and generating it! I see this project as the culmination of my PhD, as it unifies all my interests: compositionality, compression, structure, and open-endedness. More below! arxiv.org/abs/2610.20922

If you like listening to audio on-the-go, I’ve found that that has been a great tool to stay just a bit more on top of the pile of papers I want to read

Loved working on this with @peteryhlu! We made a small and simple modification to the standard causal Transformer sequence model architecture, but it has a big effect: it allows the model to compute any arbitrary conditional query, and do things like infilling

I'm excited to share my latest work, which focuses on how to give causal transformers the ability to model arbitrary conditionals. This work was done with a bunch of excellent folks @EricElmoznino @g_lajoie_ @le0gagn0n @sarthmit @tejaskasetty . arxiv.org/abs/2606.14943

Excited to introduce our new paper exploring the use of in-context learning to support intrinsic curiosity! This was with an amazing team at Google including @sangnie, @g_lajoie_, @derifatives, @neurosacramento, Rajaj Nasser, @oswaldjoh, and @blaiseaguera. arxiv.org/abs/2606.19476

New perspective piece out with @Yoshua_Bengio in Science on AI & consciousness. Current trajectory is that the scientific consensus will increasingly be that AI is conscious (even if it isn’t), with potentially dangerous consequences for humanity.
