Next Event: Poster Session and Social (with free food!)

The Boston Symmetry Group is excited to host a poster session and social at 4pm on Tuesday, June 9th, at Northeastern University! Located at the Raytheon Amphitheater within the Egan Research Center (120 Forsyth St in Boston, right next to the Ruggles T stop), we'll start with a casual poster session 4–5:30pm, before walking together to a nearby social with light bites. This is a great opportunity to connect with researchers interested in the intersection of symmetries and machine learning, including a group of visiting PhD students from Sweden! All are welcome to attend this free event, even if you have not worked on this topic before, and we encourage those with relevant prior work to bring a poster to seed discussion with other attendees. All posters relevant to the themes of geometry and symmetry in machine learning are welcome, including those that have appeared at prior conferences. To ensure we have an accurate headcount, please complete this short registration form: https://neu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_77zy6FGyhe4SjGu

The Boston Symmetry Group organizes events for Boston-area researchers that are interested in the interplay between symmetries and machine learning. Relevant research topics include invariant/equivariant neural networks, symmetries in learning algorithms, graph neural networks, and applications of symmetries in machine learning for physical systems, molecules, social networks, and beyond.


Boston Symmetry Day

Boston Symmetry Day is a meeting of symmetry-minded folks in the Boston area. Registration is free for all who would like to attend, subject to space constraints.
