Learning Explanatory Rules from Noisy Data - Richard Evans, DeepMind
Artificial Neural Networks are powerful function approximators capable of modelling solutions to a wide variety of problems, both supervised and unsupervised. As their size and expressivity increases, so too does the variance of the model, yielding a nearly ubiquitous overfitting problem.

Michal Pilipczuk: Tight Complexity Lower Bounds for Integer Linear Programming with Few Constraints
We show that verifying feasibility of ILP instances of the form fAx = b; x 0g where A has m rows (constraints) and coecients in f1; 0; 1g cannot be done in time 2 to the power of o(m log m) * n to the power of O(1) assuming the Exponential Time Hypothesis. This shows that the running tim
