| Sep 18, 2025 | Our paper on “Neurosymbolic Diffusion Models” is accepted at NeurIPS 2025! This was my main project during my Postdoc in Edinburgh. |
| Sep 10, 2025 | I was a Program Chair for the NeSy 2025 conference in Santa Cruz, USA from 8-10 September 2025. We had a great time, with 100+ attendees and great keynote speakers like Thomas Kipf and Guy Van den Broeck. I also presented our paper on how the independence assumption relates to neurosymbolic reasoning shortcuts as a spotlight oral and poster. |
| Aug 01, 2025 | Together with Efi Tsamoura, we presented a summer school course on Neurosymbolic Learning at the ESSLLI 2025 conference. |
| Jul 01, 2025 | I started a new postdoctoral position back in Amsterdam! I will work together with dr. Filip Ilievski (VU Amsterdam) and prof. dr. Cees G.M. Snok (University of Amsterdam) on multimodal commonsense reasoning. |
| May 26, 2025 | My dissertation ‘Optimisation in Neurosymbolic Learning Systems’ has won the first BNVKI Dissertation Award! |
| May 16, 2025 | Glad to share some papers I collaborated on with the Edinburgh NLP group. MMLU-Redux (NAACL 2025) fixes errors in the popular MMLU dataset. Mixtures of In-Context Learners (ACL 2025) uses mixtures of experts to improve in-context learning, and won an SAC Highlight Award. And we explored learning Tool-Use with RL (NAACL Findings 2025). |
| Nov 10, 2024 | Our paper “A Neuro-Symbolic Benchmark Suite for Concept Quality and Reasoning Shortcuts” is accepted at the NeurIPS 2025 Datasets and Benchmarks track. |
| Sep 09, 2024 | Our paper on ULLER, a general-purpose NeSy language, is accepted as a spotlight oral presentation at NeSy 2024. In addition, I’m presenting my ICML paper as a spotlight oral, and we are giving a tutorial on ULLER on Thursday the 12th of September. |
| Jun 27, 2024 | I am giving a keynote talk at the Differentiable Almost Everything ICML 2024 workshop. |
| May 02, 2024 | Our paper “On the Independence Assumption in Probabilistic Neurosymbolic Learning” is accepted at ICML 2024. |
| Apr 26, 2024 | Our paper “BEARS Make Neuro-Symbolic Models Aware of their Reasoning Shortcuts” is accepted at UAI 2024 as a spotlight paper. |
| Jan 15, 2024 | I successfully defended my PhD thesis at the Vrije Universiteit with Cum Laude distinction (top 5%). |
