Workshop on Geometry and Machine Learning

Geometry plays a crucial role in many Machine Learning problems, as it effectively captures the underlying structure and regularity of data. Additionally, Geometry provides a versatile framework for analyzing, unifying and generalizing Machine Learning methods to new settings.

GaML-23 aims to foster interaction and collaboration among researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of Geometry and Machine Learning. The Workshop will consist of invited talks, including keynotes by well-known experts and hands-on tutorials on implementing Geometric Machine Learning algorithms.

Funding

Limited funds are available to cover some travel and accommodation costs for early-career participants, mainly targeting postdoctoral researchers and Ph.D. students. Applicants are expected to submit a brief academic CV and a statement of purpose, Ph.D. students applying for funding must additionally provide a letter of support from advisor(s). The funding application is included in the registration form.

Deadlines

Applications for funding requests are closed now.

 

In-person registration for the Main Venue (MPI MiS, E1 05) has reached capacity and is now closed. It is still possible to register for the live stream.
