The Hungarian Machine Learning Days provide an opportunity for Hungarian machine learning researchers working in foreign institutions to meet each other and connect with those working in Hungary, including the younger generation and Ph.D. students.
The organization and a significant portion of the costs are covered by the National Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, established in 2020 (https://milab.hu/), whose main mission is to unite domestic researchers, organize events (such as www.ai-expo.hu), and build connections with European AI Centers and ELLIS (ellis.eu).
During the 3-day informal summer event, internationally recognized researchers will present tutorials, young researchers will give short presentations, posters, and ideas, and there will be many informal joint programs.
Participation, lunch, and coffee breaks are free of charge but require registration. On-site accommodation can be booked at the organizers at one's own expense (EUR 95.5 single 106 double per night).
All presentations are in English. Roundtables might be in Hungarian depending on participation. For posters, please apply during registration in time. Late poster applications risk no space remaining available.
