   Mentoring sessions

We aim to have 200 strongly motivated and engaged participants in this
event. We encourage applications from the Asia-Pacific region, although we
open applications to anyone in the world provided that they will be able to
attend the event which will be held in Asian time zones. No deep experience
of machine learning is needed to apply, but participants are assumed to
have some basic knowledge of programming, statistics, and machine learning.
We will provide recommended background materials for those who are selected
to ensure that everyone has the required knowledge to benefit from the
event.

Please apply here
<http://www.acml-conf.org/2021/school/call-for-applications/>. Submitting
