How to address / refer to me

Name

For official purposes I'm “Nikolay Malkin” (at least for now). You can call me simply by first name. If we are working together or on friendly terms, please call me “Kolya” – a standard short/familiar form for Russian-origin names.

Pronouns

they≥she>he≥0.
Variety is welcome.

For the curious

This is the order of frequency I hope to maintain in both professional and personal contexts. Please do make an effort to get it right.

If unsure or when introducing me for the first time, singular they is safest.

If this is confusing, just ask.

Contact

Communication is accepted in English, French, Russian, and occasionally other languages.

Call for students

I am always looking for motivated students to fill fully-funded PhD positions in the School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, ideally to begin in September 2026. Interested students should contact me to discuss research directions and the application processes for the various degree programmes that I can supervise. Ideally, you should write before November 2025 to be considered for all available opportunities.

Expand for details

Research topics are in the areas of Bayesian machine learning (including probabilistic reasoning in language, generative models, and neurosymbolic methods) and applications in the sciences. I am especially happy to work with students who have a strong background in mathematics and an interest in robust and interpretable AI. Please see my research interests and recent publications for examples of the kind of work we might do together.

Studentships include:

The typical length of a PhD in the UK is 3-3.5 years. All students have at least one secondary supervisor – please let me know if you have a specific person or lab in mind – and there are many opportunities for collaboration.

(I regret that I cannot engage in individual discussions with everyone who contacts me, despite my best intentions. If I do not respond, please remind me. However, I am unlikely to answer messages that are hallucinated by a language model, which account for an increasing number. No need for polished essays! I just want to know about you, your interests, and how you think we might work together.)

On diversity and inclusion

Diverse perspectives shape impactful research. If you have an unusual education history, come from an ethnic/cultural minority, or identify as a woman, non-binary person, or queer individual, and you are interested in working with me, I especially encourage you to apply and to mention this if you feel comfortable doing so.

I am committed to maintaining an inclusive environment for everyone I interact with and to considering ethics and fairness in both collaboration choices and research topics. I participate in and contribute to the activities of Women in Machine Learning and Queer in AI, groups that take direct action to reduce barriers to participation in our field.

Teaching

In October-November 2024 I taught a mini-course on diffusion probabilistic models. Slides will be posted here eventually.

In the spring of 2026 I will give a course on Advanced Topics in Machine Learning, newly designed with my colleagues Slava Borovitskiy and Rik Sarkar. My track will focus on deep generative modelling, complementing those on geometric learning and optimisation.

The prior distribution

Before moving to Edinburgh, I was a postdoc at Mila – Québec AI institute and Department of Informatics and Operations Research, Université de Montréal, where I was fortunate to work with Prof. Yoshua Bengio and also to collaborate with Profs. Aaron Courville, Gauthier Gidel, and Guillaume Lajoie, among others:

Expand for collaborators and students

I have also been lucky to work with many fellow postdoctoctoral researchers (including Kilian Fatras, Alex Hernández-García, Pablo Lemos, Alex Tong) and M.S./Ph.D. students and interns (including Tristan Deleu, Edward Hu, Moksh Jain, Minsu Kim, Salem Lahlou, Jarrid Rector-Brooks, Alexandra Volokhova, Dinghuai Zhang, among many others).

I was formally trained as a pure mathematician: at the University of Washington (Seattle) (B.S., 2015) and Yale University (M.S. and Ph.D., 2021). In addition, I believe many individuals and societies could benefit from a dose of friendly mathematical education. Some organizations I have been involved in: UW Math Circles (Seattle), Math-M-Addicts (New York City). I am also a coauthor of this collection of problems and puzzles.

Short bio in third person

(Feel free to use if needed for talks and similar.)

Nikolay Malkin is a Chancellor's Fellow in Informatics at the University of Edinburgh and a fellow of CIFAR's Learning in Machines and Brains programme. Their research focuses on algorithms for probabilistic inference and Bayesian machine learning, with applications in generative modelling, neurosymbolic AI, and machine reasoning. Within machine learning, Nikolay's work explores modelling of Bayesian posteriors over high-dimensional and structured variables, induction and discovery of compositional structure in generative models, and neurosymbolic methods for uncertainty-aware reasoning in language and formal systems. Their work has found applications in pure and applied sciences, including inverse imaging, remote sensing, discovery of novel biological and chemical structures, and, most recently, robot control. Nikolay holds a PhD in mathematics from Yale University (2021) and was previously a postdoctoral researcher at Mila – Québec AI Institute in Montréal (2021 to 2024).

Invited talks

I intend to eventually post slides for some of these.

Research

I work on algorithms for deep-learning-based reasoning and their applications. I am specifically interested in the following subjects:

  • Machine learning for generative models, in particular, induction of compositional structure in generative models and modeling of posteriors over high-dimensional explanatory variables (including with continuous-time (diffusion) generative models). Much of my recent work is on generative flow networks, which are a path towards inference machines that build structured, uncertainty-aware explanations for observed data.
  • Applications to natural language processing and reasoning in language: what large language models can do, what they cannot do, and how to overcome their limitations with improved inference procedures. I view human-like symbolic, formal, and mathematical reasoning via Bayesian neurosymbolic methods as a long-term aspiration for artificial intelligence.
  • Applications to computer vision: notably, below you can find my (older) work on AI for remote sensing (land cover mapping and change detection), which can be used for tracking land use patterns over time and monitoring the effects of climate change.
