“The Geometry of Reasoning and Learning in the Age of Agentic AI”

Inspired by the groundbreaking work of Dr. Shun-ichi Amari, 2025 Kyoto Prize Laureate, this keynote will showcase how fundamental ideas about learning and information still guide today’s most advanced AI technologies. Following the keynote presentation by Soatto, Dr. Amari will offer some remarks and participate in a joint discussion with Stefano Soatto.

Program:

10:00 - Arrivals/Registration

10:15 - 11:00 Stefano Soatto Keynote 

11:00 - 11:15 Shun-ichi Amari Presentation

11:15 - 11:30 Joint Discussion with Soatto and Amari followed by Q&A moderated by Rose Yu, Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, UC San Diego

Shun-ichi Amari is the 2025 Kyoto Prize Laureate in Advanced Technology. He has conducted pioneering research in artificial neural networks and established the field of information geometry, which studies statistical models using the techniques of differential geometry, thereby proposing many important theories. His contributions to both theory and application, influencing various fields, are of major significance.
