Reflections from Research Roundtables at the Conference on Health, Inference, and Learning (CHIL) 2025

The 6th annual Conference on Health, Inference, and Learning (CHIL 2025), hosted by the Association for Health Learning and Inference (AHLI), was held in person on June 25-27, 2025, at the University of California, Berkeley, in Berkeley, California, USA. As part of this year's program, we hosted Research Roundtables to catalyze collaborative, small-group dialogue around critical, timely topics at the intersection of machine learning and healthcare. Each roundtable was moderated by a team of senior and junior chairs who fostered open exchange, intellectual curiosity, and inclusive engagement. The sessions emphasized rigorous discussion of key challenges, creative exploration of emerging opportunities, and collective ideation toward actionable directions in the field. Overall, the Research Roundtables brought together a diverse mix of participants, including academic researchers, clinicians, industry professionals, and policy experts. In total, eight roundtables were held across two 30-minute sessions, with a brief transition break to allow participants to join multiple discussions.
