[04/2025] Workshop on Non-Euclidean Foundation Models

Melanie co-organized a workshop on Non-Euclidean foundation models at the 2025 ACM Web Conference.

The workshop explored the intersection of Foundation Models and Geometric Machine Learning, highlighting how alternative geometric embedding spaces like hyperbolic and spherical geometries could overcome the limitations of traditional Euclidean foundation models. It emphasized the potential of these approaches to improve performance in web-related applications such as search, recommendations, and reasoning by better capturing complex relational structures.
