Beyond Maximum Entropy: A new paradigm for Modeling, Inference, and Learning Efficiency
Machine learning is revolutionizing science and society, enabling transformative breakthroughs such as predicting protein structures, simulating many body quantum systems, and redefining entire fields like healthcare, finance, or climate modeling. Yet, this rapid progress comes at a cost: the unprecedented scale and complexity of state-of-the-art models make them resource-intensive, inaccessible, and often opaque. These challenges limit their potential, hindering our ability to understand, optimize, and deploy them responsibly. To unlock the full power of machine learning, we must reimagine its foundations. This project challenges the 'bigger is better' paradigm in machine learning by…
