• Optimization for ML and AI Seminar with Courtney Paquette (McGill University): High-dimensional Optimization with Applications to Compute-Optimal Neural Scaling Laws

    CSE 1242 and Virtual 3235 Voigt Dr, La Jolla, CA, United States

    Courtney Paquette, McGill University Abstract: Given the massive scale of modern ML models, we now only get a single shot to train them effectively. This restricts our ability to test multiple architectures and hyper-parameter configurations. Instead, we need to understand how these models scale, allowing us to experiment with smaller problems and then apply those […]

  • NeurIPS 2025 Workhop on Imageomics: Discovering Biological Knowledge from Images Using AI

    San Diego Convention Center San Diego, CA, United States

    Imageomics is an emerging interdisciplinary field at the crossroads of machine learning (ML), computer vision (CV), and biological sciences. It leverages visual data—from microscopic images of single-cell species to videos of megafauna—to extract and analyze biological information, specifically traits. By grounding ML models in existing scientific knowledge, Imageomics aims to make traits computable from images, […]
