1. A talk on machine learning methods with inductive bias

2. A Panel with 2 Scientists using ML and. 2 Computer scientist from the HDR community

       => Suggested Question topic: When computing beats scientific thinking? 

              => We could do meta learning (but I think thats too far in the future for most)

3. Open discussion after the panel 20'

4. For the breakout topics : 

      a. Adapting to data equity

      b. Meta Learning

      c. Multi-Modal data
