Summer School - Big Data and Machine Learning, 2-6 July 2018, Germany

Big Data and Machine Learning

From June 30th to July 6th, 2018 the two in Germany based Big Data Competence Centers ScaDS Dresden/Leipzig and BBDC are organizing the fourth international summer school on Big Data and Machine Learning in its summer school series.The event aims at graduate students, Ph.D. students, researchers as well as well as practitioners starting or being active in the field of Big Data and Machine Learning. The program offers inspiring insights into the area by selected research keynotes from international experts combined with industrial talks.  Prior to the summer school, there will be a "streamline" hackathon for hands-on development of an application for real-time analytics of streaming data.  Furthermore, there will be plenty of opportunities to exchange ideas and to discuss the topics with other participants and speakers. The summer school also hosts several social activities such as a city walk and a dinner in a traditional restaurant.
