LOD 2021 — The 7th Online & Onsite International Conference on Machine Learning, Optimization, and Data Science

Since 2015, the LOD Conference brings academics, researchers and industrial researchers together in a unique interdisciplinary community to discuss and present the state of the art and the latest advances in the integration of machine learning, optimization and data science to provide and support the scientific and technological foundations for interpretable, explainable and trustworthy AI. Since 2017, LOD adopted the Asilomar AI Principles.

After numerous discussions, we have concluded that holding the event this year in hybrid form, both onsite and virtual (as was done for LOD 2020) as this is most beneficial for the LOD community rather than postponing the conference to 2022. The organizing committee of LOD 2021 has decided to run the conference on the scheduled dates (October 5-8, 2021), and to run it as a hybrid conference. The Wordsworth Hotel & SPA in Grasmere – Lake District England (our conference venue) has enough space to obey the safety rules (put in place due to COVID-19).

Topics: artificial intelligence, deep learning, machine learning, optimization, big data, data science, optimization, nonlinear optimization, multi-objective optimization
