Abhishek Singh Mohammad Mohammadi Amiri Ayush Chopra

Format

Every speaker would give a 2-minute presentation/pitch to the audience. We can increase the 2 minute limit to 5-10 minute if needed. We will keep two categories of pitches - i) Solution for something crazy, and ii) Crazy "What if" question. The goal is to keep the session lighthearted, fun, and intellectually stimulating at the same time. Most of our ideas of this social are inspired from the annual festival of learning at the MIT Media Lab and the rump session at the Crypto conference. This ICML social will be following ICML's Code of Conduct and hence the talk is supposed to adhere to it. Some potential examples include -
Solving the big problems with ML:

  • AGI
  • Climate Change
  • Inter-planetary travel
  • Solving the funny problems with ML:
  • Meme generation
  • Fixing doctor's handwritten notes using ML
  • A generative model for healthy delicious recipes
    Journal/conference of rejected papers/ideas
    Making people's speech funnier and less offensive
    Fixing the peer review system for ML conferences
