The MLSys 2025 welcomes the participation of the Young Professionals Symposium (YPS). The symposium will be held on Monday, May 12, 2025 as part of the MLSys conference program. Different from the multi-track symposiums before, YPS is a single-track full-day event with invited talks, panels, round tables, and poster sessions.

YPS provides an informal forum for young professionals, including undergraduate and graduate students, early career researchers in industry and academia, to discuss important research questions, challenges, controversial issues, and open problems. YPS will have invited speakers, panelists, and round table moderators with diverse backgrounds covering a variety of topics including technical discussions on large model training and inference algorithms, systems, and hardware, industry vs. academia, entrepreneurship development, and etc.

We strongly encourage students and early-career researchers to submit an abstract (1 page PDF) describing new, previously, or concurrently published research. We welcome abstract submissions in all topics in MLSys. Submissions will be reviewed in a double-blind setting. Authors of accepted abstracts will be asked to present their work in an in-person poster session. A few authors will be selected to give oral presentations. There are no formal proceedings. Abstracts are non-archival: they may describe completed research or work-in-progress.

Submission Link: TBD
