Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the 2nd Edition of the “International Conference on Machine Learning for Astrophysics ML4ASTRO2”, which will be held in Catania (Italy) on July 8-12 2024.
As for the first edition, the event is focusing on the application of ML/DL techniques to observational and simulation data in astronomy.
The conference is conceived as a periodic event where AI scientists and astronomers can take stock of the state of a rapidly evolving field, and as a stimulating environment fostering discussion and the emergence of new ideas and collaborations, particularly for young researchers.
The scientific program will be organized in several sessions including invited reviews, contributed talks, poster flash talks) and plentiful time for discussion.
We welcome submissions of abstracts for Oral Presentations or Poster Flash Talks encompassing a wide array of topics relevant to the intersection of machine learning and astrophysics.
Along with the scientific program, cultural and social events will be organized.
