Event: AAAI-26: The 40th Annual AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence Venue: Singapore (Singapore EXPO). Date: 20–27 January 2026.
🎯 Quick summary
Kicked off the year at AAAI-26 in Singapore — loved presenting our work on knowledge graph model evaluation and soaking up the incredible energy across technical talks, demos and posters. The poster sessions at Graphs for Learning & Reasoning and Neuro for AI workshops were especially engaging: great questions, sharp feedback, and a number of promising conversations with early-career researchers and practitioners.
AAAI-26 is a large, multi-track meeting: in addition to main conference, the program included tutorials, numerous workshops and demonstration sessions, and special bridge programs — all designed to accelerate cross-disciplinary AI work.
🔍 What made AAAI-26 notable (quick points)
- Scale & breadth: AAAI-26 ran a wide set of workshops (dozens across AI subfields), creating many focused communities-of-practice for topics from logic & AI to multi-agent and LLM-driven systems.
- Neuro ↔ AI crossovers: The Neuro for AI & AI for Neuro workshop convened researchers from computational neuroscience, neuromorphic engineering and ML — a clear sign that multimodal and biologically inspired approaches are gaining traction. (neuroai-multimodal-workshop.github.io)
🤝 Connections & highlights
Presented our poster on knowledge-graph model evaluation and attended lively sessions at the Graphs for Learning & Reasoning and Neuro for AI workshops. Loved meeting many curious students and researchers — several conversations look likely to lead to follow-up experiments and collaborations.
Special kudos to Haji Gul for conducting the work and for an excellent poster design.
🌟 Personal notes
Conferences like AAAI are energising because they mix deep technical exchange with serendipity — informal chats that seed longer collaborations. Thanks everyone who stopped by our poster. Already looking forward to turning many of the conference ideas into follow-up projects.
