Pioneer Centre for AI

Would you present your next NeurIPS paper in Europe instead of traveling to San Diego (US) if this was an option? Serge Belongie and I would love to hear the answer through this poll: https://lnkd.in/dQ9GN3Sv Please share this with your network so we can get some data. Why are we running this poll? Cross-Atlantic travels are a source of significant pollution and are practically difficult for researchers with kids. The US is hardening its border control. NeurIPS attendants often complain that the conference has gotten too big. With these (and more) factors in mind, the Copenhagen AI community has been discussing if it would be beneficial to be able to present accepted NeurIPS papers in Europe instead of traveling to the US. At this point, we are only looking for data from the wider European community to understand if there is interest in such an opportunity. This has not been discussed with the NeurIPS board – at this point, we are merely curious about the views of the community.

Have you heard about Pioneer Centre for AI? It is located right in the middle of Copenhagen in the observatory of the botanical garden. It must be one of the most wonderful AI centres in Europe. The first thing to know about the The Pioneer Centre for Artificial Intelligence is that it was Granted 47 million Euro (354 million Danish kroner) over 13 years (2021-2034). With additional funding from Novo Nordisk Foundation: Application Calls and Grants and Carlsberg Foundation. Second, is that their director is kind, very thoughtful and exceptional. I met the Director of P1, Professor Serge Belongie at Nordic AI Meet back in 2021 where we invited him with the previous organisation I worked with and I drove him to the airport. He was recruited to develop the proposal and lead the new Pioneer Centre for AI, Belongie, was previously the Andrew H. and Ann R. Tisch Professor of Computer Science at Cornell Tech, where he also served as Associate Dean. In addition to this, he was previously a member of the Visiting Faculty program at Google, serves on several boards, and has been involved in several successful start-ups. He known for his contributions to the fields of computer vision and machine learning, and moved the Belongie Lab to the Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen, Department of Computer Science. Learn more about P1 here: https://lnkd.in/dW3viVEb I also met a Norwegian PhD student visiting P1 working directly with Belongie, and his name is Sander Riisøen Jyhne. Check him out.
