About ODYSSEY

ODYSSEY is a 100+ person conference about alignment with a mathematical focus. ODYSSEY will feature an unconference format—meaning that participants can propose and lead their own sessions. We believe that this is the best way to release the latent creative energies in everyone attending.

The ILIAD conferences are the premier gathering for all things theory and alignment. Topics include: Singular Learning Theory, Agent Foundations, Causal Incentives, Computational Mechanics, Safety-by-Debate, Scalable Oversight and more.

To get a better sense of what might happen, you can view the schedule for last year’s ILIAD conference here.

Financial Support

Financial support for accommodation & travel are available on a needs basis. We may not be able to offer support to everyone who requests it. 

Proceedings

We are planning to announce a call for papers for the ODYSSEY Proceedings. Submissions will undergo a peer review process, and provisionally accepted papers will be invited to give a featured talk at ODYSSEY. If you would like to submit a manuscript to the Proceedings, please indicate so your application form and we will be in touch. The submission deadline will be around the end of June. More details to be announced.
