D3A Machine Learning Theory Workshop

The goal of this workshop is to strengthen the network of people interested in machine learning (ML) theory in Denmark, in particular to foster collaborations, to provide a forum for PhD students, and to bridge the gap between theory and practice. The workshop invites a variety of contributions:

• Short talks (5-10 minutes) and/or posters. 
• Longer tutorial and overview talks (20-40 minutes). 

You are welcome to present your latest research (ongoing or just published) and to give tutorial and overview talks reviewing existing work. We invite presentations of open problems, both open theoretical problems and “theory for practice presentations”, where challenges in applied AI are presented that may profit from ML theory.

This workshop is part of the Danish Digitalization, Data Science and AI 3.0 conference which will bring together researchers, students, and professionals from the fields of computer science, data science and AI.

Submission Guidelines

Submit an abstract (at most 3000 characters) for your contribution.

Deadline for submission: 15-07-2025

Notification of acceptance: 01-08-2025

Note: If your abstract gets accepted, one of the co-authors must present in person and register for the Danish Digitalization, Data Science and AI 3.0 conference.
