ICML 2026 — live archive
A running, super-detailed archive of ICML 2026 — day by day, plus workshops, tutorials, and standout papers. Updated live through the conference.

One vanishing integral, five lenses: why ∫₀²π (1+2cos t)/(5+4cos t) dt = 0
A single definite integral that evaluates to exactly zero, proved five ways — Weierstrass substitution, residues, cyclotomic/Dirichlet-kernel number theory, winding numbers and de Rham cohomology, and the Green–Stokes generalization. Each lens is written as a settled core plus open threads to expand in a later edit.

Anshu & Arunachalam — and where RL-ES quantum state estimation lives inside it
Reading-archive entry for the 2023 survey on complexity of learning quantum states (arXiv 2305.20069). Used as the anchor for my RL-ES quantum-state-estimation drafts (Wasserstein gradient flow + λ-convex exponential decay) and to surface the PL-condition pivot once ES is dropped. The post is split by a hard divider into Direct (what the drafts and advisor feedback commit to — locked until next iteration) and Indirect (my own extensions from this reading — subject to revision).

Enhanced POET — and the architecture of open-ended intelligence
Reading-archive entry on Wang et al. (ICML 2020). The paper makes a precise claim about open-ended search; this entry extracts that claim and uses it to anchor a five-axis framework — Discovery × Representation × Selection × Transfer × Memory × Meta — that names what the rest of the field is each (separately) optimizing.

The agent loop: a field guide to agentic AI architectures
A survey-first deep dive into what an AI agent actually is — the loop, its seven sub-problems, the design space for each, and where the open research lives. The field first; my own work only at the end.
