IPNP: topical AI/ML meeting

Thursday 10 Apr 2025, 09:30 → 14:30 Europe/London

Higgs Centre (JCMB)

Using AI and Machine Learning methods is one of the common threads joining several ongoing resesarch efforts within IPNP, ranging from very well established approaches to more speculative project ideas. Given how rapidly this field is developing, we are organizing this short meeting on April 10th, 9:30am - 2pm for anyone interested. There will be several talks and some time for discussion over the breaks.

Meeting objectives:

• Better understand the broad scope of our activities in this area
• Start discussion that may lead to collaborations
• Exchange expertise between researchers working on related topics

 

Lunch food will be provided during the break. If you plan to attend in person please register below to help us determine an approximate head count.
