Topics
Machine learning has increasing importance in today's society, with ever-wider application of autonomous learning systems in areas ranging from advertising to energy and finance. It also has many scientific applications, as evidence by the growth of data science as a discipline. This summer school will give thorough introductions to a number of techniques and application areas in machine learning, including.
On the theory side, topics covered will include Bayesian inference, Deep learning, Gaussian processes, Markov decision processes, Monte-Carlo methods and Reinforcement learning. The applications will include Computational Biology, Computer vision, Energy and Smart Grids, Medicine and Robotics.
Travel grants are available for students.
