This workshop is targeted at early career researchers working in geometry, machine learning, and biomedical engineering. It aims to bring together researchers from the three disciplines to foster exchange and collaboration.

The first day features two tutorials: one applied tutorial on geometric machine learning implementations in Python, and one theoretical tutorial on differential geometry and comparing different notions of convolutions. The first tutorial consists of a pre-recorded part, and one Q&A and discussion session during the workshop on the tutorial topic. Attendees should watch the pre-recorded part if they plan to participate in this section. Apart from this, there will be five research talks on applications of geometry to machine learning and biomedical engineering.

There will be a poster session on the first day during which participants are invited to give a 5 minutes poster presentation about their own research. The poster content need not be original research, but can be. The posters are mainly a help to get everyone to know each other.

The seminar will be held via Zoom, and the link will be distributed to registered participants before the event. To register, please fill in the registration form here: Link. Slots for the poster session are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. (If you previously registered via email you need not fill in the form)
