Great place and opportunity
ML for Science@ml4science.bsky.social · 2mo agoWe are recruiting several Early Career Research Group Leaders for Machine Learning in Science (m/f/d; E14 TV-L, 100%) in Tübingen! Open to researchers directly after their PhD or with postdoctoral experience. Application deadline: July 15, 2026. More info: uni-tuebingen.de/en/128980#c2... 1/2
this one of these papers that was 100% worth really digesting deeply.. it's shaped a lot how I think about / understand stats in HEP. Congrats!
Kyle Cranmer@kylecranmer.bsky.social · 2mo agoI have great memories of this project, which developed from a narrowly scoped question to something much more impactful over more than a year. It’s interesting how terms like “Asimov” and “signal strength” and “mu” now permeate the field.
The new gravitational wave data is public, this is so exciting! Analyzing so many events is becoming increasingly expensive. That's why we have used DINGO for the first time to support the official LVK analysis. After training the neural networks, you can analyze suitable events over night! 🥳🤩
EGO and the Virgo Collaboration@egovirgo.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe @ligo.org – Virgo – KAGRA Collaboration published today a new catalog of gravitational wave events that adds 161 events to the collection, bringing the total number of gravitational wave signals detected to date to 390 🤯
OpenAI's claim that this is a central conjecture in discrete geometry is not an exaggeration. This will I think be looked back on as the first time that AI solved a major mathematics problem (defined as a problem that all experts in some subfield had thought about). openai.com/index/model-...
An OpenAI model has disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry
An OpenAI model solved the 80-year-old unit distance problem, disproving a major conjecture in discrete geometry and marking a milestone in AI-driven mathematics.

You know your PhD students are ready to graduate when they start organizing their own workshops - here is our own Malin Horstmann kicking off the SBI in @atlasexperiment.bsky.social workshop!
Great to be back in Pittsburgh - first time I’m visiting CMU
I'm very excited about this new paper, which kicks of our LEGO ERC project we started earlier this year towards general-purpose AI surrogates for simulating radiation-matter interaction. Instead of training AI surrogates for specific detectors or material distribution ...
I always enjoy coming to Nikhef - and happy that my finishing PhD Malin Horstmann will start her Postdoctoral there - what a great place!
Tristan du Pree@tristandupree.bsky.social · 3mo agoInspiring colloquium at @nikhef.bsky.social by @lukasheinrich.com on AI in Particle Physics
Today, the #SnakemakeHackathon2026 at the TU Munich ended with the release of Snakemake 9.17! I want to thank all participants and my co-organizers! You have been incredibly dedicated and we improved a ton of things throughout the ecosystem.
Very cool talk by @annalenakofler.bsky.social - check it out !
Annalena Kofler@annalenakofler.bsky.social · 4mo agoThis is the first ever detected gravitational wave originating from a black hole merger observed in 2015. In the GIF: • Grey = the actual noisy detector signal • Color = a best-fit simulation • Left = the underlying physics: two simulated black holes spiraling inwards and merging into one
Following the success of the EurIPS and NeurIPS-Mexico City pilots in 2025, we are thrilled to announce two official NeurIPS 2026 satellite events for this year! These will be held in Paris, France and Atlanta, USA, respectively, running alongside the main venue in Sydney, Australia.

Vor 10 Jahren haben wir mit einer handvoll Leuten yhep.desy.de gegründet. Heute war der Hörsaal voll gepackt mit mehr als 100 early-career Physiker*innen die über das #WissZeitVG und Nachhaltigkeit in der Wissenschaft informiert wurden und sich vernetzen konnten. #IchBinHanna

Jocelyn Bell and Anthony Hewish announced their discovery of a “rapidly pulsating radio source” — what we now refer to as a pulsar — with a paper in @nature.com #OTD in 1968. 🧪 🔭 ⚛️ www.nature.com/articles/217...
I enjoyed reading this thoughtful position piece by @hogg.bsky.social on "why we do astrophysics" - a lot of these points can naturally be expanded to particle physics and any fundamental science arxiv.org/abs/2602.10181
Why do we do astrophysics?
At time of writing, large language models (LLMs) are beginning to obtain the ability to design, execute, write up, and referee scientific projects on the data-science side of astrophysics. What implic...

TMLR's 2025 annual report! The word of the year is growth: whether it's our number of submissions, published papers, or reviewers, pretty much everything has increased ~50%. EXCEPT: our review period, which is still shorter than NeurICMLR (91 vs 126 days) Read on for more! 1/n

Roger‘s Statistics Book is a staple among particle physicists - RIP
William Barter@wjbarter.bsky.social · 6mo agoProfoundly sad to read news of Roger Barlow's passing. A great physicist, educator and communicator, who lived by his principles and would share his wisdom with anyone who asked. The world is now a poorer place.
Scaling Laws in Particle Physics Data! This is a result I've been itching to share and it's finally out. One of the big open questions is how much better AI-based methods at particle colliders can still become. 1/4
