C’Est La Wien 2023
There is a surprising amount of machine learning research happening at universities and institutes in and around Vienna. However, there appears to be little cooperation between the various research units. To facilitate cooperation we are hosting a workshop aimed at PhD students in the area of machine learning called Community Event for Students of Learning Algorithms in Wien (C'Est La Wien). The workshop will feature keynote presentations by established researchers, short presentations by PhD students and a poster session. All topics in the area of machine learning are welcome.
Participation
We are still looking for students to present their research via a poster or a short presentation (duration depends on the number of sign-ups). We are open to all topics connected to machine learning. Your presentation or poster can be about already published work or things you are currently working on even if it is in an early stage. If you have already registered and want to change whether you hold a short presentation or bring a poster please email us (see organizers).Keynote Speakers
