Attend
Everyone is welcome! Register and share your resume with our sponsors, make some forecasts on Prophet Markets!
Registration
Our workshop is part of ICML 2026, so attendance is handled through the main conference. Register on the ICML 2026 registration page — you can pick up a full-conference pass or a workshop-only pass, whichever fits your plans. We hope to see you in Seoul on July 11.
Together with our sponsors, we're also putting together an optional resume book. If you're open to research, internship, collaboration, or career opportunities, you're welcome to share your CV with the participating sponsors. Submitting is entirely voluntary through this form.
Mini Prediction Market
We built a mini prediction market — Prophet Markets — a fun, no-stakes way to get hands-on with prediction markets. Trade on real workshop questions with $50 in virtual money to start, bring your AI and forecasting expertise to bear on sharper predictions, and climb the leaderboard as you go.
To boost engagement, the top three forecasters win prizes:
- 1st place — choice of Meta glasses (Gen 2), AirPods Pro 3, or a DJI Neo.
- 2nd place — choice of the LEGO World Cup Trophy set or a Kindle Paperwhite.
- 3rd place — choice of an AirTag 4-pack or an Anker MagGo wireless power bank.
Prizes are subject to terms and conditions — including but not limited to a minimum number of participants, a minimum number of trades, and similar requirements — as determined by the workshop organizers.
Poster Session
The poster session runs during lunch, 12:15–13:30, in Hall A (1F). Our boards are highlighted on the hall map below: spotlights on 1408–1412, orals on 1508–1510, and posters on the remaining boards (1413–1417, 1500–1517, 1600–1611). Put your poster up anywhere within your section — tape will be provided at the workshop.
Oral presenters: a poster is optional but recommended — it's a great way to share your work with attendees who can't make the talk or who have follow-up questions.
