JAIST-Thai Symposium 2024

Toward Next Generation Generative AI and Beyond

September 11-13 2024

Introduction

Over the past decades, JAIST has actively engaged in joint research and various exchange programs with universities in Thailand, leading to a strong foundation of collaboration and innovation. Notable efforts include symposiums and workshops such as IWAM 2022, organized in partnership with Mahidol University, and the JAIST-CU Forum 2023 with Chulalongkorn University. Our partnership with Thammasat University (SIIT) has also culminated in the establishment of a dual degree program, further enhancing our collaborative research capabilities.

Building on this success, we are now focused on launching a new series of symposiums called the JAIST-Thai Symposium. This initiative aims to build upon our strong international cooperation and technological expertise between JAIST and Thai universities. By bringing together leading researchers, the symposium will create a dynamic environment that encourages the exchange of ideas and drives groundbreaking research across various fields.

This year, we focus on "Generative AI and Beyond," a widely-discussed topic within global research communities. Additionally, the symposium will feature a student workshop highlighting the work of Thai students who have studied, interned, or visited JAIST. These students will present their collaborative research projects, providing a valuable platform to share their findings with our research community. This workshop not only showcases the success of our collaborative efforts between JAIST and Thai universities but also reflects our commitment to nurturing the next generation of researchers.
