Why causal inference was missing from NeurIPS workshops this year
Seventy-three workshops at NeurIPS, and causality doesn't get a single slot. That stings, especially for those of us who've watched the field push real boundaries at UAI and CLeaR. It's not that those venues lack merit; they're excellent. But the energy at the top conferences has clearly pivoted toward LLMs and agents, leaving causal inference on the periphery. We're not saying the work vanished, just that its visibility is shrinking. For researchers who value rigorous, human-centered data science, this feels like a quiet loss.
Explore Visual Reasoning: A New Benchmark for AI Models.
Visual reasoning has always been the quiet barrier between pattern-matching and true understanding. When we saw the benchmark challenge posed by /u/moschles, it felt less like a test and more like a mirror. We're not just asking AI to identify objects; we're asking it to explain why a circle isn't a square. That distinction matters. For anyone who has wrestled with the limits of current models, this exploration offers a practical lens.
