Motivation and description

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.

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.
