UniReps 2024 Awards

The second edition of the UniReps Workshop at NeurIPS 2024 was a huge success! Building on the momentum from last year, we were thrilled to welcome over 1,000 participants from academia and industry for a day packed with engaging talks, lively discussions, and an exciting poster session. We received 106 submissions this year, including 25 fantastic proceedings papers that will soon be published in the workshop volume.

We couldn’t have done it without all of you! A big thank you to the authors, our amazing program committee of 181 members, the participants who made the event so special, and our sponsors for their incredible support.
