Fall into ML 2023: HSE University’s Faculty of Computer Science Organises Conference on Machine Learning
On October 26–28, HSE University’s Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Sciences at the Faculty of Computer Science will hold a conference titled Fall into ML 2023 with support from the HSE University AI Research Centre . The event is dedicated to promising directions of fundamental AI development.
The forum will cover topics such as general machine learning issues, deep neural networks, reinforcement learning, applications of machine learning in industry, natural, and social sciences, healthcare, and climate science, as well as language models, computer vision, optimisation, robotics, trusted AI, autonomous vehicles, etc.
The conference will be held in an A* format. Participants will enjoy a busy three-day programme featuring:
two mini-courses
two panel discussions: ‘Science in Academia and Industry’ and ‘Strong AI: Risks and Benefits’
four workshops: ‘Diagnostics of Neural Networks’, ‘Artificial Intelligence in Physics’, ‘Reinforcement Learning’, and ‘AI in Biology and Medicine’
scientific competitions
reports and a poster session
Alexey Naumov, organiser of Fall into ML
‘For the second year in a row, we are holding a conference at which almost all Russian authors of A* publications in the field of AI will give presentations and present posters. The highlight of the conference is the poster session, in which all authors participate. This format makes it much easier to communicate with colleagues and ask them questions. I hope that this year, the conference will be as successful as last year and become the main scientific event of the year on AI in the country.’
If you are a student, graduate student, or researcher in the field of artificial intelligence, register and take part in Fall into ML 2023.
