Welcome to Samsung AI Forum 2020 

Samsung AI Forum will be held for the fourth time, but online for the first time. The broadcasts will be conducted on the official Samsung YouTube channel on November 2 and 3, registration is required on the forum website to participate . Despite the fact that it will be a deep night in Moscow at this time, we highly recommend trying to join the stream. After all, the world's coolest researchers in the field of artificial intelligence will perform this year: Yoshua Benjio, Ian LeCun, Christopher Manning and others. For those who cannot, the recording will be available.





The forum will feature the world's coolest AI scientists such as Yang LeCun and Yoshua Benjio (pictured), who received the Turing Prize for their discovery of deep neural networks.

Day One (November 2): Artificial Intelligence Technologies for Real World Change

The first part of the Samsung AI Forum is held by SAIT (Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology, Samsung Institute for Advanced Technologies). After the reports, the speakers will take part in a panel discussion. 



Presentation topics and speakers: 

• “Towards the Discovery of Causal Representations” - Prof. Yoshua Bengio, University of Montreal Professor, 2018 Turing Prize Winner (with Ian LeCune and Jeffrey Hinton, the prize is considered to be the Nobel analogue in computer science), Founder and Director of Science at Mila (AI Institute in Quebec), Director of Science at IVADO, co-founder of the ICLR conference and a committee member of several leading conferences in the field of AI.
