The Machine Learning topical platform MLA2S of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW), together with Technical University of Leoben (MUL), is organizing a four-day seminar for the "Österreichische Studienstiftung" dedicated to the theory and practice of machine learning.
After the joint arrival and welcome on May 5, two intensive seminar days follow, led by researchers from the Wolfgang Pauli Institute and the University of Vienna. Participants will receive a solid introduction to the fundamentals of machine learning and deepen their knowledge through practical exercises.
On May 8, Montanuniversität will open its laboratories and research facilities for guided tours, before the 24-hour machine learning hackathon begins in the afternoon. This brings scholarship recipients together with MUL students in teams to tackle real materials science questions using machine learning methods. The hackathon is supervised by experts from ÖAW and MUL and concludes on May 9 (around 3:00 p.m.) with the presentation of results and awards for the best teams.
Important: We assume only basic computer skills; no programming experience is required for the seminar or the hackathon. Funded students from all fields of study are welcome to participate.
This event offers an excellent opportunity to learn about current research, gain practical experience, and network with other dedicated students.
