On November 13, 2025, we had the incredible opportunity to attend AI Day 2025, organized by the Finnish Center for Artificial Intelligence (FCAI) at Dipoli, Aalto University. This flagship national event brings together the brightest minds from academia and industry working on artificial intelligence in Finland, fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing, and innovation across sectors.
Our Contribution: Score-informed Music Source Separation
Our team member, David Diaz-Guerra, presented a poster showcasing our research on “Score-informed Music Source Separation: Improving Synthetic-to-real Generalization in Classical Music”, which was originally presented at EUSIPCO 2025. The poster session provided an excellent platform to engage with fellow researchers and industry professionals interested in the intersection of AI and music technology.
A Day of Knowledge and Networking
AI Day 2025 featured an extensive program with keynote speeches, scientific presentations, industry talks, and interactive poster sessions. The event kicked off with an inspiring keynote from Philip Piatkievicz, followed by parallel sessions covering diverse topics including machine learning, language and cognition, scheduling and optimization, medical AI, vision and robotics, and more.
One of the highlights was the panel discussion with the OECD Global Science Forum Expert Group, which explored capacity gaps in the public sector research workforce, focusing on AI and quantum science. The panel discussed success factors in academia-industry collaboration and ways to facilitate intersectoral mobility—topics that resonate deeply with our own research community.
The Finnish AI Dissertation Award ceremony and the extensive networking opportunities throughout the day made AI Day 2025 not just an academic event, but a celebration of Finland’s thriving AI ecosystem.
We’re grateful for the opportunity to share our work and connect with the vibrant AI community in Finland. We look forward to continuing these conversations and collaborations in the future.
Thank you to FCAI and the Finnish Artificial Intelligence Society (FAIS) for organizing such an impactful event!
