Features of LxMLS:

• No deep previous knowledge of ML or NLP is required, but the attendants are assumed to have some basic background on mathematics and programming
• Lecturers are leading researchers in machine learning and natural language processing (see schedule)
• Days are divided into morning lectures and afternoon lab sessions and practical talks (see schedule)
• The Labs guide will be provided one month in advance. Last years guide can be found here
• A day zero is scheduled to review basic concepts and introduce the necessary tools for implementation exercises
• Both basic (e.g linear classifiers) and advanced topics (e.g. deep learning, reinforcement learning) will be covered
• Students will be able to (optionally) show their current work in poster sessions during coffee breaks
• In the demo day students will be able to interact with technical companies and research institutions working in machine learning
• Welcome reception, Gala dinner, daily lunch as well as morning and afternoon coffee breaks are included in the application fee
