The LatinX in AI research workshop is a one-day event with invited speakers, oral presentations, and posters. The event brings together faculty, graduate students, research scientists, and engineers for an opportunity to connect and exchange ideas. There will be a panel discussion and a mentoring session to discuss current research trends and career choices in artificial intelligence and machine learning, highlighting the unique challenges of LatinX identifying researchers. The workshop aims to create a platform for the work of Latinx researchers and we invite everyone to attend.We strongly encourage students, postdocs and researchers who primarily identify as Latinx in all areas of machine learning to submit an abstract describing new, previously, or concurrently published research. We welcome abstract submissions, in theory, methodology, as well as applications. Abstracts may describe completed research or work-in-progress. While the presenting author need not be the first author of the work, we encourage authors to highlight the contribution of Latinx individuals — particularly the presenting author — in the abstract. The LatinX authors of accepted abstracts will be asked to present their work in a poster session. A few authors will be selected to give 15-minute oral presentations. Authors accepted to present will be offered …

The Women in Machine Learning (WiML) workshop was founded in 2006 to forge connections within the relatively small community of women working in machine learning, to encourage mentorship and exchange of ideas, and to promote communication. This year, we aim to focus particularly on the elements that have driven high participant interaction and networking based on our experience from past WiML events, while keeping the program shorter. Instead of the participant-led breakout sessions, the invited speakers and/or panelists will lead a Q&A/breakout session, occurring in parallel to each other in a 1-hour time-slot. The idea is that after participants have heard about a topic from the respective talk, there will be more questions and engagements. In addition to the short talks and parallel Q&A sessions, the program will include mentoring and career roundtables and panel discussions.To indicate the change to a shorter program and emphasize the more interactive format, we are planning to rebrand the next iteration of this workshop. We would like to organize the first “WiML Symposium” at the ICML 2024 conference.

{Dis}Ability and Queer in AI Workshop at the International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) 2024. There are a sizable number of Queer and Disabled researchers in the AI community, and providing them with a space for discussion of issues relating specifically to their identities and experiences is paramount. As one of the central venues for AI/ML research, ICML provides an ideal setting for discussion and raising awareness of the issues posed by AI/ML and the associated industry and scholarly practices that are faced by diverse communities. This workshop, jointly hosted by Queer in AI and {Dis}Ability in AI, aims to bring together voices from these communities to share their experiences rooted in collective solidarity in an open, critical, and community-centric manner. We believe it is more important than ever to raise awareness about how the technologies we research impact the lives of Queer, Disabled, multiply-marginalized identities, and Global South communities.
