==========================================================================
Dear Colleagues,

we are happy to announce the upcoming

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
                     MACHINE LEARNING SUMMER SCHOOL
 at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen, Germany
                      26 August to 6 September 2013
                      http://mlss.tuebingen.mpg.de
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overview
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The machine learning summer school provides graduate students and industry
professionals with an intense learning experience on the theory and
applications of modern machine learning. Over the course of two weeks,
a panel of internationally renowned experts of the field will offer
tutorials covering basic as well as advanced topics.

Confirmed Speakers and Topics
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yasemin Altun (Google) will speak on
        Structured Output Prediction

Christopher Bishop (Microsoft Research) will speak on
        Graphical Models

Léon Bottou (Microsoft Research) will speak on
        Multilayer Networks

Peter Dayan (Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit) will speak on
        Cognitive Learning

Zoubin Ghahramani (University of Cambridge) will speak on
        Bayesian Inference

Ralf Herbrich (Amazon) will speak on
        Distributed Machine Learning at Scale

Andreas Krause (ETH Zürich) will speak on
        Submodularity

Stefan Schaal (Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems) will speak on

Application process
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Applications are invited from graduate students, postdoctoral researchers
and industry professionals looking to use, or already using machine
learning methods in their work. This includes researchers in applied
fields as well as students of machine learning itself. Prior experience
is not strictly required, but helpful. A small number of travel stipends
will be available.

Applicants will be asked to submit a CV, a cover letter of up to 2000
characters, and a short letter of recommendation from one referee of their
choice. We are also seeking to give participants a chance to discuss their
own work with their peers and the speakers. Each applicant is thus invited
to provide the title of a poster they would like to present at the school.

* Monday 11 February 2013       application system opens
* Monday 11 March 2013          DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS
* Friday 12 April 2013          notification of acceptance
