17 posters worth seeing from MIT Jameel Clinic researchers at ICML 2026

Enjoy the sights and sounds of Seoul, but don't miss out on these exciting ML papers from MIT Jameel Clinic researchers!

The International Conference for Machine Learning (ICML) is known as one of the top three major AI/ML research conferences, which take place in various cities around the world on an annual basis. Last year’s ICML took place in Vancouver, Canada, but this year, ICML’s organizers have decided to trade in maple syrup and Justin Bieber for kimchi and BTS on the other side of the globe in Seoul, South Korea.

At ICML 2026, which takes place from July 6 to July 11, more than a dozen research papers from Jameel Clinic researchers will be featured across several poster sessions, with one selected for an oral presentation and three Spotlighted by the ICML reviewers. If you were lucky enough to snag a ticket to the main conference before they sold out, make sure to save this list for later.

Note that all times are in KST, Korean Standard Time.
