This affinity social is aimed at LatinX individuals working on or interested in AISTATS with a goal to increase the visibility of researchers of LatinX origin in a field that has been dominated by countries such as China, USA and Germany.

Those already working on AISTATS will have the opportunity to connect with fellow LatinX and make their own work known, while those new to the field will benefit from the scientific exchange, guidance and advice of researchers with the same background. Participants will be able to engage in discussions about NLP (formal and informal) and share their thoughts on how to increase the presence of LatinX in AI.

Diversity and inclusion are key to achieving better and more creative science. By promoting this event, AISTATS will not only advocate for an underrepresented community, it will also help to promote the development of technologies and language resources that take into account the different languages ​​that exist in Latin America.
