| Apr 12, 2026 | PAPER 📝 We challenge the lottery ticket metaphor for understanding overparameterization. We propose Escape Dimensions as a substitute intuitive mental picture based on loss landscape theory. Check out the full article in the blog page. |
| Dec 15, 2025 | TALK 🎤 Talk about our Flat Channels to Infinity for the ELLIS - Mathematics & Efficiency of Deep Learning reading group – link to video. |
| Dec 09, 2025 | PAPER 📝 Our work on in-memory computing with memristive devices is out in Nature Machine Intelligence! We push the boundaries of what’s computable in-memory, delegating both inference, error computation and error updates on the hardware side to minimize slow and inefficient cross-talk with a generic CPU. Have a look at Actor–critic networks with analogue memristors mimicking reward-based learning |

| Jun 17, 2025 | PAPER 📝 We discover channels of slowly decreasing loss in network loss landscapes that lead to minima at infinite parameter norm. In the limit, these solutions implement Gated Linear Units using standard neurons. These channels are parallel to lines of saddle points generated by permutation symmetries.
