Both universities are dear to me. I hope to maintain good bonds and collaborations with my colleagues at UCLouvain, but of course also look forward to the new opportunities at KU Leuven! (3/3)

In the coming year I will be involved in teaching and research at both KU Leuven and UCLouvain, teaching in English, French and Dutch, and continuing to supervise my fantastic PhD students at UCLouvain. (2/3)

After 8 good years at UCLouvain, it is my pleasure to also share this here: I'm joining KU Leuven again. Today was my first day in Leuven as a professor, within @DTAI_KULeuven. (1/3)

This Sunday, Benoît Ronval presented the paper "Assessing and improving the robustness of Binarized Neural Networks" at the VeriLearn workshop at ECAI, in which we explore the use of solvers to make binarized neural networks more robust. Paper: https://t.co/8gNUs5PACv #ecai2023

Are you interested in joining our institute as a professor? A new academic position has now been opened. Go to this page for more information: https://t.co/kFOougA2AU Also researchers in AI can apply! #AI #professor

2/ Then we introduce a new simple solver for performing projected weighted model counting on these Horn clauses. We show that for a range of inference tasks this solver is as fast as the state-of-the-art, or faster. We hope that its simplicity allows for other uses in the future!

1/ In this work we show that some well-known probabilistic inference problems (including for Bayesian Networks, ProbLog, probabilistic networks) can be modeled in a simple & efficient manner using only Horn clauses + projected weighted model counting.

Julien Liénard presents his work on providing feedback to autograders (joint with @kim_mens Siegfried Nijssen). @sattose2023

Lucile Dierckx presented "RL-Net: Interpretable Rule Learning with Neural Networks" at PAKDD 2023, joint work with Rosana Veroneze, in which we learn rule lists using neural networks. Paper available here:

A word of welcome was said at the opening reception of #IDA2023 by the rector of @UCLouvain_be, @VincentBlondel, and the director of #ICTEAM, Michel Verleysen, both well-known data scientists. Thanks for the warm words (and story about the history of the #Louvain method)!

IDA 2023 has started! After the paper first presentations this morning, Barbara Hammer just gave a very interesting invited talk on variable importance. @HammerLabML #ida2023 #DataAnalytics #MachineLearning
