The third workshop of the AISSAI semester on “Artificial Intelligence for the two infinites” will be held in Toulouse, France from September 30 to October 3rd, 2024. This workshop will be devoted to Heterogeneous Data and Large Representation Models in Sciences.
Scientific data are often heterogeneous and multimodal in nature, originating from various sensors in embedded systems (robotics, aerospace), from different detector subsystems or different instruments in fundamental physics, or from different signal sources in a scientific experiment in general. The models can combine representations from neural networks with symbolic representations integrating a priori knowledge of the scientific domain. The integration of heterogeneous multimodal scientific data from various sensor systems or sources into LRMs is an emerging topic with a potential for high profile scientific results.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together scientists from different fields (just to list a few: computer sciences, cosmology, human sciences, mathematics, physics, robotics, statistics, etc.) and with different profiles (experimentalists, theorists, developers) to discuss these topics at the forefront of AI/ML research, fostering collaboration and innovation in this rapidly evolving field.
This workshop will delve into a range of topics, which include but are not limited to:
- Constructing machine learning models capable of learning from diverse data types.
- Managing multimodal data from varied sources, or heterogeneous data from scientific instruments that combine multiple detector technologies, for ML applications.
- Investigating contrastive embeddings tailored for heterogeneous and multi-modal scientific data alongside shared embedding representations.
- Exploring the integration of neuro-symbolic AI and multi-level representations.
- Mathematical modeling of combined representation.
- Exploring explainability and interpretability of Large Representation Models in the scientific context.
- Embracing frugality and size management in Large Representation Models.
- Possibly on a longer timescale, exploring numerical encodings for large language representations in scientific contexts.
Program
The program is planed to be a mix of high-profile guest speaker presentations and contributed talks.
The workshop will take place in the Venue Le Village, downtown Toulouse.
Participation will be limited to 80 on-site participants.
Registrations is free (but mandatory). Registrations are moderated and do not constitute acceptance of participation. A final validation for acceptance of participation in the workshop will be made by the organizers and each person who will have registered will be notified.
Talks are expected to be given in person.
