We are pleased to announce the Nordic Probabilistic AI School (ProbAI) 2020 taking place on June 8-12, 2020 in Trondheim (Norway). Applications: https://probabilistic.ai/application/ <https://probabilistic.ai/application/> The application deadline is March 26, but we recommend an early application. ------- ** About ProbAI 2020
The mission of the 2nd Nordic Probabilistic AI School (ProbAI) remains unchanged. We aim to serve state-of-the-art expertise in probabilistic machine learning and artificial intelligence to the public, students, academia and industry. Particularly, our objective is to bring an intermediate to advanced level summer school with a focus on probabilistic machine learning. We cover topics such as probabilistic models, deep generative models, latent variable models, inference with sampling and variational approximations, and probabilistic programming and tools. ProbAI 2020 is organized by the Norwegian Open AI Lab and hosted by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim. ** Program Together with the intentionally small team of invited lecturers, we hope to provide an efficient and quality knowledge transfer through: - carefully designed curriculum, - tight cooperation between our lecturers, - a mix of theoretical lectures and some hands-on tutorials, - extra time for participants with our teaching assistants at hand - an innovative lecture room (R2) that allows for a close collaboration between the students and lecturers ( https://roundme.com/tour/214005/view/589158/ ) - Possibility of being awarded 7.5 ECTS by NTNU (conditioned on being registered for the course in the university system and evaluation and grade of an extra assignment - more information on the website). ** Keynote and Talks: - Max Welling (University of Amsterdam) — Keynote - Evrim Acar Ataman (Simula Research Lab) — Tensor Factorizations for Physical, Chemical, and Biological Systems - Atılım Güneş Baydin (University of Oxford) — Probabilistic Programming, Machine Learning, and Physics - Keith L. Downing (NTNU) — Bio-Inspired AI - Mihaela Rosca (DeepMind) — VAEs and GANs ** Lectures: - Antonio Salmerón (University of Almería) — Probabilistic Modeling - Arto Klami (University of Helsinki) — Variational Inference and Optimization - Andrés R.
