You are warmly invited to join the Second Workshop on Multimodal AI (MultimodalAI'24), on 25th June 2024 at the Edge, University of Sheffield, UK. This workshop will be an in-person-only event. Pre-workshop activities, including a networking reception, will be organised on 24th June at Regent Court and The Diamond, University of Sheffield.

Multimodal AI, which integrates various data modalities such as text, image, sound, and others, is swiftly revolutionising our interaction with technology and data. MultimodalAI’24 brings together researchers and practitioners from AI, data science, and various scientific and application domains to discuss problems and challenges, share experiences and solutions, explore collaborations and future directions, and build networks and a vibrant community on multimodal AI.

This workshop features four keynote speakers from academia and industry: Maria Liakata (Professor of NLP, Queen Mary University of London, Turing AI Fellow), Tian Xie (Principal Research Manager, Microsoft Research AI4Science), Nataliya Tkachenko (Generative AI Ethics & Assurance Lead, Lloyds Banking Group), and Adam Steventon (Director of Data Platforms, Our Future Health). We offer participants opportunities to present 5-minute talks and posters, with four prizes (£150 each) in total for the best talks and posters. We also have funds to support travel costs.

Register by 10th June 2024 to join this interdisciplinary event to grow our diverse community that shapes and builds the future of multimodal AI research and development. To become a sponsor of this workshop event, click here.

We offer a reduced delegate rate for students (the team will contact you following registration to confirm student status).
