Together with the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society and the IEEE Electron Devices Society, IBM Research is hosting the 5th AI Compute Symposium virtually.
The IBM and IEEE sponsored Symposium will bring together dreamers, thinkers, and innovators in cutting-edge research for a two-day forum to explore AI Compute challenges and future research directions. This symposium is free of charge.
The symposium will have eminent invited speakers as well as a student poster session. Students are encouraged to submit poster abstracts during registration. A best poster will also be awarded.
This event is an initiative of the IBM Academy of Technology.
Live presentations from the IEEE AI Compute Symposium will be streamed on the Day of the conference via Streaming Channel
