Welcome to the Fourth Workshop on the Future of Machine Learning in Geotechnics (4FOMLIG), held in Seoul, the vibrant capital of the Republic of Korea.
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 4th Workshop on the Future of Machine Learning in Geotechnics. As geotechnical engineering enters a new era shaped by Intelligence, Integration, and Innovation, this workshop brings together researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders who are actively shaping the future of our field.
4FOMLIG provides a collaborative platform for exchanging ideas, discussing emerging challenges, and exploring new opportunities enabled by intelligent and interconnected geotechnical systems. From AI-enhanced modeling and data-driven decision-making to on-site automation and digitally integrated infrastructure, our discipline is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Guiding this transformation responsibly and creatively is a shared mission of our global community.
We believe that the true strength of FOMLIG lies not only in technical excellence, but also in meaningful collaboration. Throughout the workshop, we encourage you to engage openly, challenge assumptions, and connect with colleagues from around the world who share a common passion for advancing geotechnical engineering.
We are delighted to host this workshop in Seoul at Dongguk University, the venue for 4FOMLIG. Located in the heart of the city, the university is known for its strong interdisciplinary research culture and its emphasis on ethical and responsible technological advancement. It provides an appropriate academic environment for scholarly exchange on forward-looking applications of machine learning in geotechnical engineering.
We sincerely hope that 4FOMLIG will be a rewarding experience—one that inspires new insights, fosters lasting partnerships, and helps define future directions for machine learning in geotechnics.
Thank you for being part of this workshop, and we wish you a stimulating and productive time at 4FOMLIG.
