The Lisbon Machine Learning Summer School (LxMLS) is an annual event hosted at Instituto Superior Técnico. The 2025 edition will be a six-day in-person event, taking place from July 19th to 25th.
The Summer School is addressed to researchers and graduate students in the fields of NLP and Computational Linguistics, computer scientists (interested in statistics and machine learning), industry practitioners who desire a more in-depth understanding of these subjects.
The school covers a range of machine learning topics, from theory to practice, that are important in solving natural language processing problems arising in different application areas. No deep previous knowledge of ML or NLP is required, but the attendants are assumed to have some basic background on mathematics and programming.
The event is organized jointly by Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Instituto de Telecomunicações, Instituto de Engenharia de Sistemas e Computadores, Investigação e Desenvolvimento em Lisboa (INESC-ID), the Lisbon ELLIS Unit for Learning and Intelligent Systems (LUMLIS), Unbabel, Zendesk, and IBM Research.
This year’s edition of LxMLS features several CMU Portugal faculty members and alumni.
André Martins a CMU Portugal alumnus, is currently VP of AI Research at Unbabel, a CMU Portugal Industrial Affiliated company; Zita Marinho, a Research Scientist at DeepMind, is a Dual Degree Ph.D. alumna in Computer Science and Robotics (Técnico | CMU Robotics Institute). Isabel Trancoso, a CMU Portugal faculty member and researcher (Técnico | INESC-ID), will serve on the Steering Committee. She will be joined by Fernando Pereira, a member of the CMU Portugal External Review Committee and Google (USA) Vice President and Engineering Fellow.
The event will also count with Carnegie Mellon University faculty Bhiksha Raj, from the Language Technologies Institute of Carnegie Mellon University, who was already part of LxMLS two previous editions, and participating for the first time, Beidi Chen, Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at CMU.
The deadline for registrations is April 28th and the application form is available here.
