Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the 1st Bath Summer School in Machine Learning <https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bathmlsummerschool.org%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cos435%40bath.ac.uk%7C9ee1504f2bf24a20f57f08deb74b7e4d%7C377e3d224ea1422db0ad8fcc89406b9e%7C0%7C0%7C639149732038234344%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=%2FSQ2Fcr%2B9NG7BkXYkAHttk3xIh0g1KnL%2BEtGVUBrTRk%3D&reserved=0>, hosted by the Centre for Artificial Intelligence at the University of Bath.

The school offers three days of tutorial-style lectures spanning core and emerging topics in machine learning, designed to help graduate students rapidly build knowledge outside their direct research focus — in a friendly, inclusive environment.

Dates: 5–7 August 2026
Location: University of Bath

This year's themes:
ODEs & SDEs in Machine Learning
Probabilistic & Bayesian Methods
Self-Supervised Learning
World Models
