The Applied Machine Learning Days (AMLD) conferences are a regular roadshow of the data science community at EPFL, producing a highly charged program in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence through various formats over the years.

This is my sixth year as participant, the first time participating as member of the AI Center staff, both immersing myself in the thèmes du jour, and making my own humble contribution. The best way to get a glimpse of the action at this year's Intelligence Summit, is to watch the official recap videos along with the Aftermovie on the YouTube channel:

All of the keynotes are also available, in a handy list on the website:

“AI, good servant, bad master” - EPFL AI Center
A report published in French by the EPFL AI Center, in collaboration with the University of Geneva, presents both the perceptions of a sample of French-speaking population of Switzerland and the recommendations of a citizen’s assembly.

Soon it was time for the first session of the day .. Inside Apertus! Organized by yours truly, with big thanks to the 11 panelists who took part.

The poster sessions were fantastic as always, give me a shout if you'd like to see any of these in high res:

Later in the day, the Inside Apertus team stopped for in the NLP lab for a debriefing session. We went down to the Musée Bolo to play with SMAKY, chat with Eliza, and take a retro-style group photo. Martin Jaggi and many others were missed, but I will never forget this moment.

Merci, AMLD!
