(4/n) John Kalantari (YRIKKA / Univ. of Minnesota) will tackle the myth of generalizability in DL—why context isn’t a footnote, but the key to real-world impact. Especially in high-stakes fields like healthcare.

(3/n) Otilia Stretcu (Google Research) will unpack why classification still breaks in the real world—and how LLMs might help (or not). From safety to niche data, it’s messier than the benchmarks suggest.
