Combinatorial algorithms are fundamental across a wide range of domains, owing to their ability to model optimization and decision-making tasks under complex constraints. These algorithms underpin practical applications such as vehicle routing, network and chip design, clustering and information retrieval. Combinatorial problems are also prominent in various areas of machine learning such as natural language […]
Optimization lies at the heart of many machine learning algorithms and enjoys great interest in our community. Indeed, this intimate relation of optimization with ML is the key motivation for the OPT series of workshops. We aim to foster discussion, discovery, and dissemination of state-of-the-art research in optimization relevant to ML. The focus of OPT […]
Imageomics is an emerging interdisciplinary field at the crossroads of machine learning (ML), computer vision (CV), and biological sciences. It leverages visual data—from microscopic images of single-cell species to videos of megafauna—to extract and analyze biological information, specifically traits. By grounding ML models in existing scientific knowledge, Imageomics aims to make traits computable from images, […]
Graphs serve as a powerful representational framework for machine learning, and their integration has substantially advanced the field. Indeed, extensive studies have pushed forward graph machine learning (GML) in both theory and applications. Recently, new perspectives have been emerging in the machine learning community, including algebraic–topological analyses, foundation models, generative models, and large models in […]
