About

The conference theme, "Theory, Models, and Applications of Geometric Deep Learning," aligns with the current AI research focus on understanding AI algorithm capabilities and limitations. Deep learning methods, like convolutional neural networks and graph neural networks, have seen rich theoretical advancements. Geometric deep learning offers a unified framework, addressing properties such as permutation invariance and rotation invariance. Its applications span quantum computing, 3D perception, drug design, and more, exemplified by AlphaFold's protein structure predictions. However, these structure-aware networks often lack a solid mathematical foundation. This workshop unites mathematicians and computer scientists to establish the mathematical theory of geometric deep learning, fostering reliable topological structures and efficient computing units for deep neural networks while addressing current scientific challenges.

LoG

The Learning on Graphs conference (LoG) is an annual research conference that covers areas broadly related to machine learning on graphs and geometry, with a special focus on review quality. In its inaugural edition, LoG 2022 received 250+ paper submissions, 2,800+ total registrations, and distributed $30,000+ in reviewer awards.

LoG 2023 will be a 4-day virtual event via Zoom + GatherTown and completely free to attend (dates: 27th – 30th November 2023). At the same time, LoG 2023 aims to host a ‘network’ of local mini-conferences around the world. This decision builds upon the success and positive reception of LoG 2022 local meetups in Cambridge, MIT, Stanford, Mila, and Würzburg (300+ attendees in total). The objective is to connect participants belonging to the same geographic area, improving their social experience and fostering discussion and collaboration.

LoG 2023 Shanghai Meetup is held jointly by Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Peking University on 29 Nov - 1 Dec 2023.
