Finally, on Tuesday @LachiVeronica will also present another ongoing project studying whether GNNs are truly calibrated. This is a joint work with @franciferrini_ @AntonioLonga94 @andrea_whatever @barbera_cesare and Manfred Jaeger. :) openreview.net/forum?id=FHsE…

I’m not crying, I just got a concept in my eye
Good news everyone! This year we will be organizing a workshop on Unifying Concept Representation Learning at ICLR'26! The workshop is about unifying ideas and techniques from #NeSy AI, #XAI and #Causal representation learning. Have a look at the CfP!

📢 Now that we have an in-person LoG, why are we still supporting meetups? 👉 Meetups keep the community alive all year round, beyond the main event 👉 They give the community more chances to connect locally and inclusively 👉 They complement—not compete with—the in-person LoG
📢News about our Call for Local Meetups 🚉 To favor commuting, 3-day events are now allowed 🗓️ Deadline extended to 30th November See logconference.org/call-for-m… for details
