On March 9 and 10, 2026, the workshop "MLaftermath" will take place at the ECDF. ECDF Professors Emmanuel Baccelli, Professor for Open and Secure IoT Ecosystems at FU Berlin and Guillermo Gallego, Professor for Robotic Interactive Perception at TU Berlin, are co-organizers. Machine learning has become ubiquitous, as artificial neural networks (large or small) are now being deployed on almost all types of machines. The MLaftermath workshop brings together speakers from research institutions in Berlin and the surrounding region, who will present and discuss their work across the field, ranging from applied mathematics to embedded computing, experiments and datasets. Each speaker will partly base their talk on work recently published at a top AI conference (NeurIPS), with a view to fostering high-quality new scientific collaborations.
