School of Maths is hosting INFORMED AI Summer School 16-19 June 2025: current research in the mathematics underpinning AI and Machine Learning. Applications welcome from early career & established researchers in academia and industry. Info & registration: https://t.co/Tjfc6uPxOl

Go read our paper on arXiv! https://t.co/rchxDJtsHw

Our paper "Function-Space Learning Rates" is on arXiv! We give an efficient way to estimate the magnitude of changes to NN outputs caused by a particular weight update. We analyse optimiser dynamics in function space, and enable hyperparameter transfer with our scheme FLeRM! 🧵👇

Compass CDT student Xinrui Shi's blog: How to optimally allocate a fixed participant number across trials in a pairwise meta-analysis, to achieve the most precise estimates, considering a trade-off between the precision/quantity of individual observations: https://t.co/SwtYWr89tg

New Student perspectives blog post by Compass CDT Student Sam Perren. This blog highlights Sam's research on network meta-analysis, addressing challenges in disconnected networks and single-arm studies, and extending the multinma package. https://t.co/9Jud9YGKw8

NEW Student perspectives blog post by Compass CDT student Sam Bowyer: How can we efficiently finetune a pretrained AI model (which is too large for us to train from scratch) on a downstream task whilst accurately estimating the model's uncertainty? https://t.co/oEohi3Swcf

New Student Perspectives blog post by Compass CDT Student Dylan Dijk! The vector autoregressive model is popular for fitting multiple time series. This post highlights the need for a factor adjustment step when dealing with a large number of series. https://t.co/BhZRAdJLhs

New blog post by Compass CDT Student Rachel Wood on how can we spot anomalies in networks. In this blog post, Rachel explains how we can do this to identify changes between networks observing the same subjects (e.g. snapshots of the same graph over time). https://t.co/eVWjZefyef
