The 9th ISM-ISCT-NII-ZIB-NUS-MODAL Workshop on Optimization and Machine Learning for Data Science and Future Computing

This series of international workshops was started in January 2017 based on three bilateral academic agreements between the Institute of Statistical Mathematics (ISM), the Institute of Mathematics for Industry (IMI), Kyushu University, and the Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB).  Since then, it has been held almost annually in Berlin, Fukuoka, Singapore and Tokyo (see previous workshops below).  The 9th workshop, subtitled optimization and machine learning for data science and future computing, will be held at Komazawa University, Fukasawa Campus in Tokyo, hosted by ISM and the Institute of Science Tokyo (ISCT), in collaboration with the National Institute of Informatics (NII), ZIB and the National University of Singapore (NUS) in September 2025.
