Description

Please note that the registration period for this school has now closed and the school is currently oversubscribed, so we are not accepting any further applications.

STFC's Summer School in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, provides a joint training activity and national cohort building exercise, primarily for PhD students involved in one of  STFC's eight Centres for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Data Intensive Science (DIS). The school will focus on the theme of artificial intelligence and machine learning, with lectures provided by scientific and industrial leaders in the field, which will be augmented by a variety of hands-on activities.  In addition to the training activities, the summer school will include:

  • Poster sessions, with a poster given by all participants
  • Data science outreach activity on Saturday afternoon
  • Free Sunday
  • Quiz night
  • Summer school dinner

The summer school will start with dinner on Tuesday 17 July at 7pm and end at 4pm on Wednesday 25 July. We ask all STFC CDT students to register as soon as possible and by Monday 30th April at the latest. After that point registrations will be accepted from non-CDT STFC students on a first-come basis. The school is free for all STFC students.

It is expected that students will be present for the entire duration and partake in all activities. Accommodation will be provided for all students in a UCL Halls of Residence and the expectation is that all participants will stay in the accommodation (even those resident in and around London). It will also be fully catered, except for Saturday evening and Sunday.

Please send any enquires to: stfc-dis-summer-school@live.ucl.ac.uk.
