The 27th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI-2024) kicked off on 19 October and will run until 24 October. Taking place in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, the event features a full programme of technical papers, keynote talks, workshops and tutorials, invited talks, panels, and special sessions. We take a look at what participants have been getting up to over the first few days of the event. Our opening session delivered essential updates for all attendees, followed by a warm welcome from our partners and local authorities. Excited to present our work tomorrow.

Welcome to our monthly digest, where you can catch up with any AIhub stories you may have missed, peruse the latest news, recap recent events, and more. This month, we find out about Neural Operators, take a virtual trip to IJCAI, and try to bridge the gap between user expectations and AI capabilities. Anima Anandkumar is the inventor of Neural Operators which extend deep learning to modelling multi-scale processes in many scientific domains, including weather and climate modelling, drug discovery, and engineering design problems. In the next in our series of interviews with the 2024 AAAI Fellows, Anima tells us about Neural Operators and how she has applied them to many important science and engineering problems. Florian Tramer, Gautam Kamath and Nicholas Carlini won an International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2024) best paper award for their work Position: Considerations for Differentially Private Learning with Large-Scale Public Pretraining, in which they challenge the paradigm of pretraining models with public data, and then privately fine-tuning the weights with sensitive data.

The 33rd International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-24), which took place on Jeju Island, South Korea, has now drawn to a close. The first three days of the event saw the running of tutorials, workshops, and the doctorial consortium track. You can see our round-up of these here. The official opening ceremony of the conference marked the start of four days of invited talks, posters, oral presentations, panel discussions, and more. In this post, we give a flavour of this second part of the event.

The 33rd International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-24) is currently taking place in Jeju Island, South Korea. The first three days of the event saw the running of tutorials, workshops, and the doctorial consortium track. Find out what the participants have been getting up during these first few days. Welcome to our @IJCAIconf AIGC tutorial "Beyond Human Creativity: A Tutorial on Advancements in AI Generated Content" with @BangL93 @chenyu_hugo @hengjinlp @Teddy_LFWU Join us this afternoon! It was an honor to be invited to speak at #IJCAI2024 and introduce the concepts behind #timeseries databases to an amazing group of researchers and academics.

This year's International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) is taking place in Vienna, Austria from 21-27 July 2024. As well as six invited talks, the programme boasts oral and poster presentations, affinity events, tutorials, and workshops. Find out what the participants have been getting up to during the first few days of the event. Very excited to be in Vienna at #ICML2024 as a general chair -- with Program Chairs Katherine Heller @kat_heller and Zico Kolter @zicokolter (minus Nuria Oliver @nuriaoliver and Adrian Weller @adrian_weller). I would like thank PCs, and the entire program committee and staff,… pic.twitter.com/DvaWR4uKHn

Today we are presenting our paper with @hemant_pt about ranking multilingual help requests on social media during disasters at #ICWSM Full paper: https://t.co/fBphALS7fj

Deep Learning Indaba is currently taking place in Tunis, Tunisia. Find out what the participants and organisers have been up to in this round-up of tweets from attendees. This has me really thinking about how humans do this so seamlessly and the effort required from a deep learning perspective. Gabriela Csurka is delivering a powerful keynote speech on "Visual Domain Adaptation in the Deep Learning Era" at the @DeepIndaba #DLIndaba2022. Follow us to get the most recent updates of the #DLIndaba2022.

The 30th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-21), taking place virtually, started on August 19th. The weekend just gone saw the running of numerous workshops and tutorials. We also look ahead to some of the other events planned for this week. The first #IJCAI2021 workshop kicks off today 17 Aug AI For Sports Analytics #AISA Room RED 1 Speakers: @StatsOnTheT @the_spearman et al https://t.co/Y7nm9wS0Yk Something I really enjoy with conferences is learning about mathematical problems directly from people working on solving them. During the week end, I heard about the vertex p-center problem, and loved it.

This week saw the running of the International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR 2021). This event is dedicated to research on all aspects of deep learning used in the fields of artificial intelligence, statistics and data science. This includes applications such as machine vision, computational biology, speech recognition, text understanding, and robotics. Our selection of tweets from organisers and attendees gives a flavour of the content and discussions that we've seen this week. Don't miss our two #ICLR2021 Outstanding Paper Sessions to hear about the 8 award winning papers in talks and a live Q&A with the authors.

You may have seen our tweet round-up from the first few days of the AAAI 35th conference on artificial intelligence. During the second part of the conference we've enjoyed further invited talks, interesting panel sessions, and workshops. In our second round-up, we collect tweets from Saturday 6 to Tuesday 9 February. I just had the joy of moderating a fascinating #AAAI2021 plenary talk by @prfsanjeevarora, "Opening the Black Box of Deep Learning". People are actually starting to understand dynamics of gradient descent; GANs; generalization; why LMs work.
