DESCRIPTION
The INIT/AERFAI Summer School on Machine Learning is organized by the Institute of New Imaging Technologies (INIT) of the University Jaume I of Castellón, and co-sponsored by the Spanish Association of Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (AERFAI). The focus of this Summer School is to study the most relevant topics and methodologies in Machine Learning and discover new challenges and trends for this scientific area. This event is open to any researcher or PhD-student who is interested in learning or refreshing their knowledge about the most successful approaches in the fields of kernel-based methods, multiple classifier systems, streaming data, ROC analysis, performance evaluation of learning models, statistical analysis of experiments, on-line learning, semi-supervised learning, data complexity analysis, among others.
The Summer School is organized as a five-days intensive course to be held June 24-28 in Benicássim (Spain). Leading researchers in their respective areas of expertise shall present each tutorial, followed by a practice session with demos and/or specific software in order for participants to gain a better understanding of the theory. Non-formal poster sessions will also be organized for the participants to present their current research and interact with their scientific peers.
