“Following the same pattern as the past three years, approximately one-third of this year’s speakers have once again been invited from the world’s leading corporations and scientific groups. The focal points of the reports for this year revolve around the large language models and diffusion models. This year marks the debut of two dedicated conference segments: one focusing on the application of machine learning in biology and medicine, and the other addressing the challenges in controlling robots through machine learning. All machine learning specialists are welcome to attend the event.” says Hrant Khachatrian, co-organizer of the “Datafest Yerevan” conference.
