2nd Workshop on Learning Under Weakly Structured Information

2nd Workshop on Learning under Weakly Structured Information

We are pleased to announce that the 2nd Workshop on Learning Under Weakly Structured Information will be held at the Tübingen AI Center.
After the first edition in 2024, organized by Hannah Blocher and Christoph Jansen from LMU Munich, the FMLS group at the University of Tübingen will host this theory-focused workshop for the current year.

About the Workshop

When: 7th and 8th of April 2025
Where: 7th: Room 08 (EG), Münzgasse 11, 72070 Tübingen
            8th: Lecture Hall (EG), Maria-von-Linden-Straße 6, 72076 Tübingen

The workshop is meant as a small and interactive event. It will cover topics in the Theory of Machine Learning field, which usually fly below the radar of the fast-paced field. In particular, the topics include (but are not limited to):

  • Uncertainty quantification
  • Information theory in machine learning
  • Imprecise probabilities in statistics and machine learning
  • (Generalized) Bayesian methods
  • Foundations of statistical and machine learning
  • Philosophical aspects of machine learning
  • Decision theoretic approaches to machine learning

The main organizers are Laura Iacovissi, Armando Cabrera Pacheco, and Rabanus Derr.

Program and registration 

-> Registration deadline: March 28th, through this form.

Participation is free of charge. However, registration for the workshop is required to guarantee a smooth organization.

The workshop program includes a social event on the first night (dinner, dutch-treat basis), and plenty of time for engaging in scientific discussion during breaks.
