The first hands-on Python session for #BikeNetKit, today at #D3A, went well! Our 15 min tutorial for GrowBikeNet is also available online - try it out here: https://github.com/BikeNetKit/tutorials/blob/main/python/tutorial01/installation.pdf Here is how our software would fix Nyborg's bike network:

Forskning forventes at løse samfundsudfordringer, understøtte politiske beslutninger og skabe værdi uden for universiteterne. Samtidig skal den være uafhængig, kritisk og fagligt stringent. Hvordan påvirker de forventninger videnskab i praksis? Det undersøger et nyt projekt 👇 #dkforsk #forskpol

Stort tillykke til @jonassjuul.bsky.social, der modtager ITU's Undervisningspris 2026! De studerende fremhæver bl.a. hans engagerende undervisning i Machine Learning og evnen til at gøre et komplekst fag både tilgængeligt og motiverende. Velfortjent! 👏

𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗖𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱 var i weekenden i træningslejr på ITU for at findpudse formen til EM i Cybersikkerhed #ECSC2026 om to uger 🧑‍💻🇩🇰 Vi havde bl.a. fint besøg af @lisbethbnielsen.bsky.social, minister for samfundssikkerhed og beredskab, som kunne sende holdet afsted med solid opbakning.

VLLMs don't "see", they remember (and they are pretty stubborn about their memories too!). I had the pleasure to supervise two master students at @itu.dk that decided to investigate this fascinating problem of VLLMs. Ayat Khudoir and Rabia Sufian just presented their work at the FAILED workshop

Thore Husfeldt and I wrote a guest post on @lance.fortnow.com and Bill Gasarch’s blog trying to explain the recent result that bipartite perfect matching allows *deterministic* efficient parallel algorithms (“BPM belong to NC”). blog.computationalcomplexity.org/2026/07/bipa...

Complexity and interpretability rarely coincide: complex systems are usually too opaque to question, while transparent ones are too simple interesting dynamics to emerge. What if we treated LLM agents as the basic computational unit to build agentic substrates? Paper thread 🧵
