Hi! PARIS at ICML 2021

19 papers accepted at the international Conference on Machine Learning (ICML)

Hi! PARIS is pleased to present the work of its researchers and professors at the 38th International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) being held this week (July 18-24, 2021).

For this edition, 19 publications were accepted by the reviewers for their significant contribution in the field of machine learning. The ICML conference is world-renowned for presenting and publishing cutting-edge research on all aspects of machine learning, and is one of the fastest growing AI conferences in the world.

Accepted papers from Hi! PARIS Research Affiliates cover a range of topics of AI (such as linear complexity transformers, learning from bias data, Reinforcement learning, Causal learning, Online Graph dictionary learning, domain adaption with optimal transport, etc.). Several schools of Institut Polytechnique de Paris are represented.

Congratulations to our Researchers!
