About ICML

The International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) is the premier gathering of professionals dedicated to the advancement of the branch of artificial intelligence known as machine learning.

ICML is globally renowned for presenting and publishing cutting-edge research on all aspects of machine learning used in closely related areas like artificial intelligence, statistics and data science, as well as important application areas such as machine vision, computational biology, speech recognition, and robotics.

ICML is one of the fastest growing artificial intelligence conferences in the world. Participants at ICML span a wide range of backgrounds, from academic and industrial researchers, to entrepreneurs and engineers, to graduate students and postdocs.

Le streaming et le live : les nouveaux moyens de levée de fonds de grande ampleur, Samuel Coavoux interviewé sur ces nouvelles dynamiques solidaires

L’opération “Streamers 4 Palestinians”, une mobilisation internationale de streamers sur la plateforme Twitch, a permis la levée de fond de plus d’un million d’euros au profit de Médecins du monde. Comment les plateformes numériques facilitent-ils ce genre d’opérations? Samuel Coavoux, sociologue au CREST-GENES a été interviewé par l’AFP à propos de ses recherches. Il avance que Twitch est particulièrement adapté pour les opérations caritatives du fait des proximités formes entre la levée de fond caritative et le travail ordinaire des streamers.

“The transmission of Monetary Policy Shocks” by Silvia Miranda-Agrippino and Giovanni Ricco – 13(3), (pp. 74-107) July 2021

Commonly used instruments for the identification of monetary policy disturbances are likely to combine the true policy shock with information about the state of the economy due to the information disclosed through the policy action. We show that this signaling effect of monetary policy can give rise to the empirical puzzles reported in the literature, and propose a new high-frequency instrument for monetary policy shocks that accounts for informational rigidities. We find that a monetary tightening is unequivocally contractionary, with deterioration of domestic demand, labor and credit market conditions as well as of asset prices and agents’ expectations.
