Epistemic Injustice in Generative AI
This paper investigates how generative AI can potentially undermine the integrity of collective knowledge and the processes we rely on to acquire, assess, and trust information, posing a significant threat to our knowledge ecosystem and democratic discourse.

Atmospheric states derived from reanalysis comprise a substantial portion of weather and climate simulation outputs.
A Robot Walks into a Bar: Can Language Models Serve as Creativity Support Tools for Comedy? An Evaluation of LLMs' Humour Alignment with Comedians
We interviewed twenty professional comedians who perform live shows in front of audiences and who use artificial intelligence in their artistic process as part of 3-hour workshops on ``AI x Comedy'' conducted at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2023 and online.
Towards Responsible Development of Generative AI for Education: An Evaluation-Driven Approach
A major challenge facing the world is the provision of equitable and universal access to quality education.
GenCast: Diffusion-based ensemble forecasting for medium-range weather
Weather forecasts are fundamentally uncertain, so predicting the range of probable weather scenarios is crucial for important decisions, from warning the public about hazardous weather, to planning renewable energy use.
Understanding Deep Generative Models with Generalized Empirical Likelihoods
Understanding how well a deep generative model captures a distribution of high-dimensional data remains an important open challenge.

Decolonial AI: Decolonial Theory as Sociotechnical Foresight in Artificial Intelligence
By embedding a decolonial critical approach within its technical practice, AI communities can develop foresight and tactics that can better align research and technology development with established ethical principles, centring vulnerable peoples who continue to bear the brunt of negative impacts of innovation and scientific progress.
A review of radar-based nowcasting of precipitation and applicable machine learning techniques
A 'nowcast' is a type of weather forecast which makes predictions in the very short term, typically less than two hours - a period in which traditional numerical weather prediction can be limited.
Levels of Analysis for Machine Learning
As a remedy for this dilemma, we advocate for the adoption of a common conceptual framework which can be used to understand, analyze, and discuss research.
Normalizing Flows for Probabilistic Modeling and Inference
In this review, we attempt to provide such a perspective by describing flows through the lens of probabilistic modeling and inference.
Monte Carlo Gradient Estimation in Machine Learning
This paper is a broad and accessible survey of the methods we have at our disposal for Monte Carlo gradient estimation in machine learning and across the statistical sciences: the problem of computing the gradient of an expectation of a function with respect to parameters defining the distribution that is integrated; the problem of sensitivity analysis.

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) enjoy great success at image generation, but have proven difficult to train in the domain of natural language.

Many Paths to Equilibrium: GANs Do Not Need to Decrease a Divergence At Every Step
Unlike other generative models, the data distribution is learned via a game between a generator (the generative model) and a discriminator (a teacher providing training signal) that each minimize their own cost.
Variational Approaches for Auto-Encoding Generative Adversarial Networks
In this paper, we develop a principle upon which auto-encoders can be combined with generative adversarial networks by exploiting the hierarchical structure of the generative model.

Learning an interpretable factorised representation of the independent data generative factors of the world without supervision is an important precursor for the development of artificial intelligence that is able to learn and reason in the same way that humans do.

Models that can simulate how environments change in response to actions can be used by agents to plan and act efficiently.
Generative Temporal Models with Memory
We consider the general problem of modeling temporal data with long-range dependencies, wherein new observations are fully or partially predictable based on temporally-distant, past observations.
Normalizing Flows on Riemannian Manifolds
In spite of the multitude of algorithms available for density estimation in the Euclidean spaces $\mathbf{R}^n$ that scale to large n (e. g. normalizing flows, kernel methods and variational approximations), most of these methods are not immediately suitable for density estimation in more general Riemannian manifolds.
Learning in Implicit Generative Models
We frame GANs within the wider landscape of algorithms for learning in implicit generative models--models that only specify a stochastic procedure with which to generate data--and relate these ideas to modelling problems in related fields, such as econometrics and approximate Bayesian computation.
