Excited to share two invited engagements: a keynote at ICMLC & ICWAPR 2026 in Cagliari, and a lecture at the VisMaC 2026 summer school in Siena 🇮🇹✨

Keynote at ICMLC 2026

I am honored to be a keynote speaker at the International Conference on Machine Learning and Cybernetics (ICMLC) & ICWAPR 2026, taking place in Cagliari, Italy, 12–15 July 2026.

My talk — “An Energy-Based Modeling Perspective on Adversarial Robustness, LLMs, and Neural Inversion” — reinterprets discriminative classifiers as Energy-Based Models and explores how this perspective connects to adversarial robustness, detecting hallucinations in Large Language Models, and neural inversion.

See you in Cagliari! 🌴

Lecturer at VisMaC 2026

I am also glad to be a lecturer at VisMaC 2026 (VISione delle MACchine), the international computer-vision summer school organized by the Italian Association for Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning (CVPL, affiliated to IAPR), held in Siena, Italy, 21–25 September 2026.

See you in Siena! 🌿
