*Call for Participation (deadline May 15):
LxMLS 2021 - 11th Lisbon Machine Learning School*

The CMU Portugal Program, as one of the event´s partners, is happy to 
invite everyone interested in *Machine Learning and Natural Language 
Processing* to attend the *11th Lisbon Machine Learning School - LxMLS 
2021 <https://t.e2ma.net/click/1zru3d/xw6s46/h41x5q>. *This year the 
school will be fully virtual and free for students.
*
Important Dates
---------------*
* *Application Deadline: May 15, 2021 (less than one week from now)*
* Decision: June 1, 2021
* Early Registration: June 15 - July 1, 2021
* Summer School: July 7 - 15, 2021

*Topics and Intended Audience
---------------*
The school will cover a range of Machine Learning (ML) topics, from 
theory to practice, that are important in solving Natural Language 
Processing (NLP) problems that arise in the analysis and use of Web data.

The target audience is:
* Researchers and graduate students in the fields of NLP and 
Computational Linguistics;
* Computer scientists who have interests in statistics and machine learning;
* Industry practitioners who desire a more in depth understanding of 
these subjects.

Features of LxMLS:
* No deep previous knowledge of ML or NLP is required, but the 
attendants are assumed to have some basic background on mathematics and 
programming;
* Days are divided into morning lectures and afternoon lab sessions and 
practical talks (see schedule);
* The Labs guide will be provided one month in advance. Last year's 
guide is available on the website.
* A day zero is scheduled to review basic concepts and introduce the 
necessary tools for implementation exercises
* Both basic (e.g linear classifiers) and advanced topics (e.g. deep 
learning, reinforcement learning) will be covered
* Lecturers are leading researchers in machine learning and natural 
language processing

Online Format:
Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, the 11th Lisbon Machine Learning 
School will be held online (via zoom and slack). Similar to last year, 
we are excited for the opportunity to create a virtual school, where you 
will be able to attend all the lectures, and participate in the Q&As and 
labs remotely. We will also provide the tools for students to engage 
with each other remotely. The lectures will also be streamed to YouTube, 
and will become freely available later in our YouTube channel. The Q&A, 
labs and social activities will remain restricted to the accepted 
students only.
