After a long time in the making, I’m happy to say that “Guided by Gut: Efficient Test-Time Scaling with Reinforced Intrinsic Confidence” has been accepted, as a main conference paper, to The 64th Annual Meeting of the Association of Computational Linguistic (ACL 2026) in San Diego! Further, the camera-ready version of the paper has been finalized and can be found here.

I am very happy to report that our paper “Re-ttention: Ultra Sparse Visual Generation via Attention Statistical Reshape” has been accepted to NeurIPS 2025!

I am extremely grateful to have been interviewed by Elsa Hahne, Director of Research Communication for the LSU Office of Research and Economic Development. In the interview we discuss a range of topics from the role of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), common misconceptions about AI in academia and the broader public, and finally beignets. Simply because in Louisiana, we cannot forget about the beignets!

Today, I am extremely honored to be the recipient of the George B. Walker Award for Best Doctoral Thesis for the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Alberta @UAlberta!
