Duke AI Day

Sponsored by

Join us on June 7th!

Together with Nvidia and Mark III Systems, we are excited to introduce the inaugural Duke AI Day (hosted at the Duke University Pratt School of Engineering), a one-of-a-kind workshop focusing on everything generative artificial intelligence, with a special focus on AI4Science. Our goal is to showcase the groundbreaking research happening in the Research Triangle (and beyond!) and bring together the community for a day celebrating collaboration and innovation. Attendees will be able to participate in hands-on tutorials and workshops from Nvidia engineers/collaborators and hear from faculty and students showcasing their research. Registration is free, and if your research develops or leverages AI, please submit a short <250 word abstract (for either completed studies or works-in-progress), which may be chosen for an oral or poster presentation — we have provided a template for the submission. Feel free to contact us with any questions!

We are accepting submissions that are related, but not limited to, conference topics such as machine learning and artificial intelligence in biology, chemistry and materials science. Theoretical machine learning works are especially encouraged, as well as work on large language models (LLMs) and generative modeling. Finally, abstracts on the topics of robotics and biomedical data science will also be strongly considered for acceptance.

Registration Deadline: Monday, June 3rd

Abstract Deadline: Monday, May 25th

FAQs

  • Duke AI Day will happen at the Pratt School of Engineering on the Duke University campus! Attendees can park at the Bryan Center garage and walk over to the atrium at the Fitzpatrick Center.

  • We are welcoming academics, students, industry colleagues, and community members to join us. Anyone can register and submit an abstract! However, to respect intellectual property and promote open dialogue and communication, we ask that no presented material is recorded or communicated outside the conference.

  • Anything related to the development of AI algorithms or their utilization is welcome to be submitted! We are particularly focusing on AI4Science, so the application of AI to the life sciences and physical sciences (biology, chemistry, physics, and materials scienre) are especially encouraged! Theoretical machine learning and large language modeling works are also very welcome, as are works in robotics and biomedical data science.

  • Your posters should be printed in landscape format (48’’ x 36’’). We suggest printing your poster at PhD Posters.

  • Please indicate any dietary restrictions you have here.
