Motivation and description
EEML is a machine learning summer school that aims to democratise access to education and research in AI, and improve diversity in the field. The summer school is held yearly in Eastern Europe – this year it will be held in Vilnius, Lithuania. Because of the pandemic, the school will use a hybrid format: first 3 days fully online, last 4 days online and in-person for those who wish to travel to Vilnius; check details on our webpage https://www.eeml.eu/program.
By bringing together (virtually or in-person) high quality lecturers and participants from all over the world, we strive to enable communication and networking among the Eastern European AI communities as well as with researchers from around the world.
The school is open to participants from all over the world. The selection process has equal opportunities and diversity at heart, and will assess interest and knowledge in machine learning. We encourage applications from candidates at all levels of expertise in Machine Learning (beginner, intermediate, advanced). Details about the application process are available online at https://www.eeml.eu/application.
The programme consists of lectures, reading groups, hands-on practical sessions, panel discussions, and more. Some of the core topics to be covered include Reinforcement Learning, Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, Theory of Deep Learning, Causal Inference.
