Machine Learning Summer School, Kioloa, Australia, 2008
Registration is now open for MLSS 2008, the 10th Machine Learning Summer School in a series beginning in 2002. It is intended for students and researchers alike, who are interested in machine learning.
Its goal is to present some of the topics at the core of modern machine learning, from fundamentals to state-of-the-art practice, including Online Learning, Games Theory, Graphical Models, Bayesian Inference, Data Mining, (Un)Supervised Learning, Kernel Methods, and Reinforcement Learning.
Topics will be taught by world experts in their fields, including Avrim Blum, Wray Buntine, Tiberio Caetano, Nando De Freitas, Marcus Hutter, Rao Kotagiri, Dale Schuurmans, and Alex Smola.
The summer school will be held on Kioloa Coastal Campus, 200km south of Sydney and 200km east of Canberra on the NSW south coast. Kioloa Coastal Campus has become the premier research field station on the south coast. With a mild climate and unspoiled beach frontage, the campus provides an ideal break from normal campus and work environments.
