• Optimization for ML and AI Seminar: (De)regularized Wasserstein Gradient Flows via Reproducing Kernels

    HDSI 123 and Virtual 3234 Matthews Ln, La Jolla, CA, United States

    Bharath Sriperumbudur, Pennsylvania State University Abstract: Wasserstein gradient flows have become a popular tool in machine learning with applications in sampling, variational inference, generative modeling, and reinforcement learning, among others. The Wasserstein gradient flow (WGF) involves minimizing a probability functional over the Wasserstein space (by taking into account the intrinsic geometry of the Wasserstein space). […]

  • ICLR 2026 Workshop: Principled Design for Trustworthy AI – Interpretability, Robustness, and Safety across Modalities

    ICLR 2026 Riocentro Convention and Event Center, Rio de Janiero, Brazil

    Modern AI systems, particularly large language models, vision-language models, and deep vision networks, are increasingly deployed in high-stakes settings such as healthcare, autonomous driving, and legal decisions. Yet, their lack of transparency, fragility to distributional shifts between train/test environments, and representation misalignment in emerging tasks and data/feature modalities raise serious concerns about their trustworthiness. This […]

  • CVPR 2026 Workshop: Trustworthy, Robust, Uncertainty-Aware, and Explainable Visual Intelligence and Beyond (TRUE-V)

    IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Denver, CO, United States

    Contemporary vision models and vision–language models are increasingly deployed in high-stakes domains, yet remain opaque, fragile, and difficult to align across tasks and modalities. This workshop aim to foster dialogue on the urgent need for transparent, reliable, and safe computer vision systems, especially in critical domains such as healthcare, transportation, and legal decision making. It brings together research […]
