Welcome to the 8th Lisbon Machine Learning School!

LxMLS 2018 will take place June 14th-21th at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), a leading Engineering and Science school in Portugal. It is organized jointly by IST, the Instituto de Telecomunicações, the Instituto de Engenharia de Sistemas e Computadores, Investigação e Desenvolvimento em Lisboa (INESC-ID), Unbabel, Priberam Labs and Feedzai.

Our target audience is:

  • Researchers and graduate students in the fields of NLP and Computational Linguistics;
  • Computer scientists who have interests in statistics and machine learning;
  • Industry practitioners who desire a more in depth understanding of these subjects.

Features of LxMLS:

  • No deep previous knowledge of ML or NLP is required, but the attendants are assumed to have at least some basic background on probabilities and programming;
  • The Labs guide for 2018 can be accessed here
  • Includes a strong practical component;
  • A day zero is scheduled to review basic concepts and introduce the necessary tools for implementation exercises;
  • Days will be divided into tutorials and practical sessions (see schedule);
  • Both basic (e.g linear classifiers) and advanced topics (e.g. deep learning) will be covered;
  • Instructors are leading researchers in machine learning.
