EEML is a machine learning summer school that aims to promote topics around machine learning and artificial intelligence and to encourage research in these fields. The summer school will be held in Eastern Europe -- this year in Bucharest, Romania. By bringing together high quality lecturers and participants from all over the world, we strive to enable communication and networking among the Eastern Europe research communities and students as well as with researchers and groups from around the world.

The school is open to participants from all over the world. The selection process has equal opportunities and diversity at heart, and will assess interest and knowledge of machine learning. More details about the application process will be available soon on our website www.eeml.eu.

The theme of the 2019 edition will be Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning. The programme consists of lectures and hands-on practical sessions on core topics such as Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Reinforcement Learning, and Generative Models. Additional advanced topics include Medical Imaging and Bayesian Learning.
