In February 2024, I attended my first-ever Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) conference in Vancouver, Canada.
It was an eye-opening experience, with sessions covering the latest advancements in AI and its applications. While there, I had the chance to connect with fellow researchers, learning about their work, which covered anything from detecting multimodal sarcasm to analyzing and classifying images from Mars (gathered by the land-rover, Curiosity!) using machine learning.
Overall, I had a fantastic time and hope this will be the first of many AAAI conferences that I attend in the future.
