L4DC

The second conference on learning for dynamics and control (L4DC) was held on 11-12 June. In their introduction to the conference, the organisers write that “over the next decade, the biggest generator of data is expected to be devices which sense and control the physical world.” They note that this explosion of real-time data from the physical world requires a rapprochement of areas such as machine learning, control theory, and optimization. The overall goal for the conference is to create a new community of people that think rigorously across the disciplines, ask new questions, and develop the foundations of this new scientific area.

The live streams of the conference were made available to all and included invited talks and contributed talks. You can watch recordings of these streams from both days of the event. All of the accepted papers can be found here.

Chelsea FinnExtrapolation via adaptation

Organising an event like this is no mean feat and one of the organisers (Ben Recht) has given his personal take in this blog post, where he reflects on the pros and cons of a virtual event, and proposes possible suggestions for the future of conferences and publishing.
