QUP successfully hosted the second annual "Machine Learning at HEP workshop" on 9th January 2024 at High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Japan with over 110 participants to highlight the recent progress in state-of-the-art ML applications to high energy physics and astrophysics.

The workshop was co-organized by KEK WPI-QUP (International Center for Quantum-field Measurement Systems for Studies of the Universe and Particles) and IPNS (Institute of Particle and Nuclear Studies), and supported by KEK WPI-QUP, JSPS Core-to-Core Program "AI-Smart" and JSPS Grant-in-Aid for Transformative Research Areas (A) "Machine Learning Physics".

The format (in-person and Zoom) and included 7 invited review talks and 20 contributed talks with world-leading researchers to discuss on state-of-the-art Machine Learning (ML) applications to high energy physics, and future strides of ML developments in the field, KEK, and in Japan.
