Creator of AI: We Have 2 Years Before Everything Changes! These Jobs Won’t Exist in 24 Months!
AI pioneer YOSHUA BENGIO, Godfather of AI, reveals the DANGERS of Agentic AI, killer robots, and cyber crime, and how we MUST build AI that won’t harm people…before it’s too late. Professor Yoshua Bengio is a Computer Science Professor at the Université de Montréal and one of the 3 original Godfathers of AI. He is the most-cited scientist in the world on Google Scholar, a Turing Award winner, and the founder of LawZero, a non-profit organisation focused on […]

I was recently invited by NeuroImage to (re)join the editorial team as Associate Editor (?!)
After a bit of a hiatus, I’m finally back to putting out in blog form what I find interesting in the world of brain imaging. I like the idea of keeping up a more regular pace in putting out incompletely finalized thoughts out there. There are a few things I want to write about. Some are controversies, some are book or reviews, some are summaries of activities in my group, some cover new areas, and some are attempts […]

Empirical Bernstein Boosting
Concentration inequalities that incorporate variance information (such as Bernstein’s or Bennett’s inequality) are often significantly tighter than counterparts (such as Hoeffding’s inequality) that disregard variance. Nevertheless, many state of the art machine learning algorithms for classification problems like AdaBoost and support vector machines (SVMs) extensively use Hoeffding’s inequalities to justify empirical risk minimization and its variants. This article proposes a novel boosting algorithm based on a recently introduced principle–sample variance penalization–which is motivated from an empirical version of […]

Learning and Optimizing the Efficacy of Spatio-Temporal Task Allocation under Temporal and Resource Constraints
arXiv:2601.02505v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Complex multi-robot missions often require heterogeneous teams to jointly optimize task allocation, scheduling, and path planning to improve team performance under strict constraints. We formalize these complexities into a new class of problems, dubbed Spatio-Temporal Efficacy-optimized Allocation for Multi-robot systems (STEAM). STEAM builds upon trait-based frameworks that model robots using their capabilities (e.g., payload and speed), but goes beyond the typical binary success-failure model by explicitly modeling the efficacy of allocations as trait-efficacy […]
