The 2nd Bayes-Duality Workshop 2024

About Program Participants Videos

This is the second edition of the Bayes-duality workshop focusing on the development of AI that learns adaptively, robustly and continuously, like humans. The main goal of the meeting is to discuss (and refine) the long-term goals of the project and foster collaborations among the attendees. Part 1 of the workshop is open to public (through live streaming) and will feature talks, tutorials, and discussion by world-leading researchers working on related topics. Part 2 and 3 will be closed meetings exclusively for the collaborators of the Bayes-duality project.

Similarly to the previous edition, we hope that the proposed activities help attendees increase their research's impact, outreach and help them network. This workshop is supported by RIKEN-AIP subsidy budget and the JST CREST Grant JPMJCR2112 on “A new Bayes-duality principle for adaptive, robust, and lifelong learning of AI systems”.

In-person attendance is limited to RIKEN-AIP researchers and invited guests, but all talks in Part 1 (June 12-21) will be streamed live and zoom link can be obtained by registering at doorkeeper.

About Talks and Tutorials

  • Invited talks will be of 40 mins length + 20 mins Q&A. Shorter talks and more discussions are encouraged.
  • Part 1 hosts 25 invited talks (each 1 hour) including 4 on the CREST project.
  • In addition, we will also have 7 hours of tutorials and 3 panel discussions of 1 hour 30 minutes.

* Due to a fire/earthquake drill from 15:30 to 16:10, the regular Break will start earlier. Last talk will begin once the drill is over, and the panel will follow a bit later than scheduled.

Each speaker can join Zoom through the link sent to them by email. This link allows you to join as a ‘co-host’. Please do not try to use other links (e.g., the one in doorkeeper). Contact Hugo Monzon, Cong Bai, or Clément Bazan, in case of zoom trouble.
