Application and Registration Process

To ensure a great experience in attending the fall school, there will be an upper limit of 100 attendees. If we will receive more 100 applications by September 1st, we will close the application process.

We will inform all registered attendees latest on September 30th whether they got a slot. To ensure that all slots are indeed really used, we ask to pay the registration fee latest September 30th.

Requirements

The goal of the fall school is to provide an overview over the state of the art in the field of AutoML. To get the most of the fall school, we expect that every attendee has a strong background in machine learning and deep learning, and is aware of the basics of AutoML. For the latter, we strongly recommend to watch the following chapters from our MOOC on the ai-campus.org:

  • Chapter 1: Introduction

  • Chapter 3: Hyperparameter Optimization (Videos 1-3)

  • Chapter 4 : Bayesian Optimization (Videos 1, 2 and 4)

  • Chapter 9: Neural Architecture Search I (Videos 1-3)

  • Chapter 10: Neural Architecture Search II (Videos 1 and 2)

Scholarship

We offer scholarships for 5 students. These don't have to pay the registration fee and can join for free. Further, we reserved hotel rooms at a reduced price for all scholarship students in the InterCity Hotel Freiburg. The distribution of the scholarships are decided by the organization committee and is based on previous achievements in the field of machine learning, AutoML and related fields. Please indicate in the registration process whether you are interested in a scholarship.

We will inform all applicants shortly after Sept 4th whether they got the scholarship.

Technical Requirements
