LxMLS 2021 will take place July 7th to July 15th in online format (via zoom and slack). It is organized jointly by Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), a leading Engineering and Science school in Portugal, the Instituto de Telecomunicações, the Instituto de Engenharia de Sistemas e Computadores, Investigação e Desenvolvimento em Lisboa (INESC-ID), Unbabel, Cleverly and Priberam.

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 some basic background on mathematics and programming
• Lecturers are leading researchers in machine learning and natural language processing (see speakers)
• 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 year’s 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
