Social Intelligence Virtual Gathering

Social Gathering at ICLR 2021 - Thursday May 6th, 2-4pm PDT


About
Social intelligence, the ability to understand other agents’ mental states, and interact with them, is at the core of human and machine intelligence. There has been an accelerating interest in machine social intelligence, or Social AI. However, as an emerging field, there has been little formal discussion on the challenges and advances in engineering machine social intelligence. This virtual gathering aims to provide an opportunity for people (both beginners and experts) to connect with one another, learn more about the advances in the field, and discuss scientific questions about the field.
