Our NEC Lab America team attended the Thirty-Ninth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-25), in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the Pennsylvania Convention Center from February 25 to March 4, 2025.

The 39th Annual AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence

The purpose of the AAAI conference series is to promote research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and foster scientific exchange between researchers, practitioners, scientists, students, and engineers across the entirety of AI and its affiliated disciplines.
Our team presented technical papers, leading special tracks, delivering talks on key topics, participating in workshops, conducting tutorials, and showcasing research in poster sessions.

The NEC Labs Booth #208 was very busy Thursday through Saturday.
