Call for Participation (apologies for multiple posting)
1st edition of the Mediterranean Machine Learning (M2L) summer school
August, 31st - September, 5th 2020 in Milan, Italy
=============================================================
Dear colleagues, we are proud to announce the first edition of the Mediterranean Machine Learning (M2L) summer school, a 6-days event where participants will take intensive courses on the most recent and fast developing core areas of machine learning with the possibility to interact with experts in the field. The participants will have access to a series of invited talks, followed by practical lab sessions
The target audience will consist primarily of Master and Doctoral students, academics, and practitioners from all around the world, with a focus on the Mediterranean area. We strive for diversity, and welcome everyone to apply!
APPLICATION DEADLINE: 16 March 2020 - we might close the application sooner if we receive more than 600 applications. More info at http://www.m2lschool.org/application
=== MOTIVATION AND DESCRIPTION ===
Selection of topics:
Computer vision
Neural machine translation
Text generation
Graphnets
Meta/Multitask learning
(Deep) reinforcement learning
Robotics
Non-parametric Bayes
Applied machine learning and deep learning (E.g., healthcare, physics, weather, ..)
and more!
Boost networking and knowledge transfer:
M2L brings together early-stage researchers, practitioners and world-leading experts, providing access to high quality education, and strengthening the local and foreign machine learning ecosystem by fostering durable connections among researchers, as well as among practitioners and industry.
Support dialogue and collaboration:
The Mediterranean Machine Learning (M2L) summer school aims to promote an informed dialogue among companies, academia and institutions, encouraging them to take an active role in shaping, regulating and supporting the evolution of the artificial intelligence field, as well as to facilitate the exchange of ideas and the establishment of partnerships.
Promote diversity and inclusion:
AI is revolutionizing several fields, from computer vision to autonomous driving and robotics. Its potential to radically change our society calls for this technology to be mastered and shaped by everyone, with equal representation of genders, ethnicities, nationalities, religions and economic backgrounds.
=== LOCATION AND DATES ===
The Mediterranean Machine Learning (M2L) summer school 2020 will take place in Milan, Italy, from the 31st of August to the 5th of September. The school will be located in the spaces of Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca.
