ELLIS-LAION Workshop on Foundation Models
13 July 2023 - 14 July 2023 Workshop Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems - Tübingen
The workshop will take place at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems on 13 - 14 July 2023, supported by ELLIS funding from the state of Baden-Württemberg. It is co-hosted by ELLIS, LAION, and MPI-IS.
Our goal is to discuss recent developments in foundation models in an informal setting.Since space is limited, we plan to live stream the talks.
With questions, feel free to reach out to Jenia Jitsev, Bernhard Schölkopf, or Christoph Schuhmann.
