The European Association for Data Science (EuADS) is pleased to announce the 2024 instalment of its popular Summer School series.
What: EuADS Summer School on Generative AI
When: 18-21 June 2024
Where: Maison d’Accueil (Convent of the Franciscan Sisters), 50 avenue Gaston Diderich, L-1420 Luxembourg-Belair
Register until: May 15th, 2024
The rise of Generative AI, especially with the advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs), marks a transformative era in artificial intelligence that is expanding across all disciplines. LLMs aim to bridge the communication gap between machines and humans, paving the way for models that can grasp the nuances of human language and generate outputs in various formats that mimic human cognition and creativity. The critical moment for Generative AI came with the adoption of neural networks, particularly transformer-based architectures, which have become its backbone. These models stand out for their profound ability to digest and learn from extensive corpora and datasets, and also to generate original, contextually rich content. But we are just at the beginning. The emerging models present challenges related to ethics, reliability, the way we experiment with these models, the scope of their inferences, their applications to more specific domains, etc.
All this has created a vibrant field of work and opens the doors to a community that will find the right forum in this Summer School. The organisers have put together a highly attractive programme addressing the following topics:
- Machines That Speak and Imagine: The Role of AI in Audio and Image Generation
- LLMs: Foundations, Advancements, and Ethical Considerations
- Generative AI for Data Analytics
- Robust Evaluation of Generative AI
- What Generative AI tells us about ourselves?
The EuADS Summer School is preceded by a public event on Tuesday afternoon June 18th during which Peter Flach (University of Bristol, UK) will deliver this year's Sabine Krolak-Schwerdt Lecture entitled 'Data Science in the time of ChatGPT — Why AI isn’t solved, and how data science can help'. The public event will be followed by a welcome reception.
The Summer School is planned as an in-person event and the symposium as an hybrid event. For more information including how to register see:

For participants there are a limited number of affordable rooms available at the Maison d’Accueil, please have a look at our website. There are several hotels within walking distance. However, please note it is very urgent to make your reservation now because the Councils of ministers of the EU are all held in Luxembourg during the month of June and therefore prices will rise in the coming months. It is also worth nothing that in Luxembourg all public transport is free of charge. We look forward to seeing you in Luxembourg in June!
