Next Event August 18-20: Boston Symmetry Group x TAGinDS joint conference

We have a dedicated page for the event here! https://www.tagds.com/events/tag-ds-2026

TAG in DS and the Boston Symmetry Group are proud to present The Boston TAG Party 2026 – a collaborative conference rallying together to ensure “No AI without Mathematical Representation!"

Building on the success of past TAG-DS workshops, this event will showcase work which brings methods from topology, algebra, and geometry and uses them to help answer challenging questions in machine learning and artificial intelligence. Symmetry as a unifying theme of the three TAG branches, and in collaboration with the Boston Symmetry Group, the 2026 Boston Symmetry Day will form the first day of the event. Boston Symmetry Group will be hosting the event at Northeastern University for all 3 days.


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.
