Learning on Graphs Conference, 2024
Table of Contents
What are local meetups?
The Learning on Graphs conference (LoG) is an annual research conference that covers areas broadly related to machine learning on graphs and geometry, with a special focus on review quality. In its inaugural edition, LoG 2022 received 250+ paper submissions, 2,800+ total registrations, and distributed $30,000+ in reviewer awards.
LoG 2024 will be a 4-day virtual event via Zoom+GatherTown and completely free to attend (dates: 26th – 29th November 2024).
At the same time, LoG 2024 aims to host a ’network’ of local mini-conferences around the world. This decision builds upon the success and positive reception of LoG 2022 and 2023 local meetups from all over the world (memories from LoG 2023). The goal is to connect participants belonging to the same geographic area, improving their social experience and fostering discussion and collaboration.
