James Munro on his experience of his students' use of AI.

Are you interested in using your skills in pure mathematics, data science or quantum information as part of a team working on exciting real world mathematical problems that help to keep the UK safe? These 3 year Heilbronn Postdoctoral Research Fellowships provide that opportunity

Each year, HIMR typically make a number of appointments hosted across their partner institutions: the University of Bristol, Imperial College London, King’s College London, University College London, and The University of Manchester.

When your Song of the Week editor's history teacher got bored of teaching history (a regular occurrence) he would play his pupils music instead. Often it was jazz, but sometimes a guy called Leonard Cohen. We weren't keen. This Cohen guy seemed so miserable. 

But in time the pupils got older.

Numberphile LIVE: How Many Pikachus Would It Take To Power A Lightbulb? 

Saturday 21st November, 6:30pm, Oxford Natural History Museum

Featuring talks from Brady Haran, James Grime, Ben Sparks - and hosted by Tim Harford. 

First Friday @11 is here! These sessions are likely to be most relevant for first year undergraduates, but all are welcome!

A course on Singular Learning Theory, exploring its applications in machine learning and mathematical AI alignment.

The course covers the mathematical foundations of SLT and touches on recent developments in how its tools are used in alignment research. The core focus is the role of degeneracies and singularities in governing the behaviour and training dynamics of neural networks. By the end of the course you will be familiar with:
