The ELLIS Summer School on Machine Learning & Computer Vision

 

The ELLIS Summer School on Machine Learning & Computer Vision is a four-day scientific continuing education event for early-career researchers at postgraduate level.

The programme covers current research in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and Natural Language Processing. It combines keynote lectures, invited scientific talks, a closing panel discussion, and two poster sessions in which participants present their ongoing research to an international academic audience. The program is further complemented by a masterclass on science communication and a Tech Transfer (Startup) Panel exploring the transition from academic research to real-world application.

Participants gain access to current research knowledge, direct interaction with leading scientists in their field, and international networking with peers from around the world , skills and connections that are invaluable for an academic career.
