Yann LeCun

Yann André Le Cun is a French-American computer scientist working primarily in the fields of machine learning, computer vision, mobile robotics and computational neuroscience. He is the Silver Professor of the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University and Vice President, Chief AI Scientist at Meta.

He is well known for his work on optical character recognition and computer vision using convolutional neural networks (CNNs). He is also one of the main creators of the DjVu image compression technology (together with Léon Bottou and Patrick Haffner). He co-developed the Lush programming language with Léon Bottou.

In 2018, LeCun, Yoshua Bengio, and Geoffrey Hinton, received the Turing Award for their work on deep learning. The three are sometimes referred to as the “Godfathers of AI” and “Godfathers of Deep Learning”.

As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the world, the intersection of deep learning and high performance computing becomes increasingly crucial. This talk brings together Yann LeCun, a pioneer in deep learning and the chief AI scientist at Meta, and Bill Dally, a leading computer architect and chief scientist at NVIDIA, to explore the future of AI models, hardware accelerators, and the evolving computational landscape.

The discussion covers:

  • The next breakthroughs in deep learning and AI architectures
  • How hardware innovation drives AI efficiency and scalability
  • Challenges in training large-scale models and real-time AI inference

Speakers:

  • Bill Dally, Chief Scientist and SVP of Research, NVIDIA
  • Yann LeCun, Chief AI Scientist at Meta, Professor at New York Universit

Martin Kleppmann

I am an Associate Professor at the University of Cambridge, working on local-first collaboration software and distributed systems security. I teach Concurrent and Distributed Systems and Cryptography and Protocol Engineering, and I’m one of the people behind the Automerge open source project.

In 2017 I published a book for O’Reilly, called Designing Data-Intensive Applications. It covers the architecture of a broad range of databases and distributed data processing systems, and it has thousands of five-star reviews on Amazon. A second edition co-authored with Chris Riccomini is due to appear in late 2025, and is now in early release.
