This year’s International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) takes place in Vancouver, later this month. One Compass CDT student has been selected for oral presentation and one as a ‘spotlight position paper’, while another was co-authored by more than one Compass student – indicative of the strength and depth of the Centre’s machine learning and AI research:

• Oral presentation: ‘Score Matching with Missing Data’
  Josh Givens (lead author); Song Liu; Henry W J Reeve

• Spotlight: ‘Don’t Use the CLT in LLM Evals With Fewer Than a Few Hundred Datapoints’
  Sam Bowyer (lead author); Laurence Aitchison; Desi R. Ivanova

• Poster presentation: ‘Function-Space Learning Rates‘
  Ed Milsom (lead author) and Ben Anson (co-author); Laurence Aitchison

• Poster presentation: ‘Flexible Tails for Normalizing Flows’
  Tennessee Hickling (lead author); Dennis Prangle

This strong presence at ICML forms part of a packed conference summer, with Compass students presenting at other important UK and international events, including UAI 2025 in Brazil, and the ERSA Congress in Greece.
