@osunlp reunion at #NeurIPS! Many are on the faculty/industry job market @luke_ch_song @iamsamstevens @BoshiWang2 @vimar_gu @zhenwang9102. They are top in their game. Go talk to them!

I’m currently exploring opportunities in both academia and industry. If you know of relevant openings or would like to discuss potential opportunities or collaborations, please reach out!

I'm at #NeurIPS2025 this week. 🌟 Check out our spotlight poster BioCLIP 2 on Wednesday from 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM at poster number 4819, and our Imageomics Workshop this Saturday in Upper Level Room 32AB!

Check out Lauren's talk "Opportunities and challenges for monitoring biodiversity in the Anthropocene with foundation models" in the Imageomics workshop this Saturday at Upper Level Room 32AB!

At #NeurIPS2025 this week and exploring full-time industry research roles in multimodal agents (early 2026 start). Happy to connect! Website: https://t.co/oxq1orFTCk My schedule and research highlights are in the poster below 👇

Life update: I moved to silicon valley to tackle agents' biggest challenges: plasticity and reliability. Today's agents are smart but brittle. They lack plasticity (continual learning and adaptation) and reliability (stable, predictable behavior with bounded failures). These two

📢 As AI becomes increasingly explored for research idea generation, how can we rigorously evaluate the ideas it generates before committing time and resources to them? We introduce ScholarEval, a literature grounded framework for research idea evaluation across disciplines 👇!

While at #COLM2025, sharing a bit COLMy news related to the keynote yesterday by Dr. @cosmo_shirley @COLM_conf: So, you know frontier LLMs have achieved gold medal level performance for IMO, IPhO, and IOI; what about astronomy and astrophysics? Our recent evaluation shows that

We are continuously pushing the frontier of biological AI with BioCLIP. Stay tuned for more updates!

I am humbled and grateful to receive two grants from Open Philanthropy @open_phil to advance the safety of AI systems, co-led with my colleague @ysu_nlp. I'm also honored to be the first at @OhioState to receive Open Philanthropy funding. Most credit goes to the amazing students

Computer Use: Modern Moravec's Paradox A new blog post arguing why computer-use agents may be the biggest opportunity and challenge for AGI. https://t.co/6fZfTdx710 Table of Contents > Moravec’s Paradox > Moravec's Paradox in 2025 > Computer use may be the biggest opportunity

🧪 Chemists spend many hours planning and replanning synthetic routes for a target molecule to avoid dangerous reactants and intermediates.☠️🚫 🤔 What if an AI agent could plan around them automatically—better and faster than human experts? 🔬 Constrained retrosynthesis

🎉 Excited to share that our paper EvoSchema: Towards Text-to-SQL Robustness Against Schema Evolution was accepted at VLDB 2025! 🚀 📢 Reminder: join us at VLDB 2025 in London! 🗓️ Sept 2 (Tue), 10:45 AM – 12:15 PM 📍 Room Wordsworth 4F 📄 https://t.co/ZNAav4ZtoX #VLDB2025 #LLMs

Excited to receive the NSF CAREER Award! Grateful for all the support and encouragement I've received in the 6 years of faculty life so far, especially for my extremely supportive family and for the amazing students @osunlp I have had the privilege to work with!!

Excited to be giving a keynote at the NeurIPS version of the Imageomics workshop! 🎉It's also not too late to submit your own work to the workshop! (Aug. 22nd deadline, details below 👇)

Remember “Son of Anton” from the Silicon Valley show(@SiliconHBO)? The experimental AI that “efficiently” orders 4,000 lbs of meat while looking for a cheap burger and “fixes” a bug by deleting all the code? It’s starting to look a lot like reality. Even 18 months ago, my own

Safety is one of the biggest blockers for computer use agents: how can I trust an agent won’t accidentally do something consequential without my permission? We collect and release the first large-scale dataset for detecting consequential actions on the web, and train the best

🚀 Excited to share our #ACL2025 Findings paper: Explorer — a scalable pipeline that generates diverse web trajectories via exploration, powering generalist GUI agents with strong performance! 📄 https://t.co/KXSsdxXIFQ 🌐 https://t.co/PcYG8QsVqF #WebAgents #SyntheticData #LLM

I'm excited to bring the Imageomics workshop to NeurIPS 2025! Consider submitting your work on ai4ecology, ai4conservation and general ai4science--if you're using images to learn something about the natural world, chances are it's a good fit for the imageomics workshop!
