The Unit organises two weekly reading groups on:
Machine Learning - discusses recent advances in machine learning technology
Many ELLIS sites regularly organize lecture series promoting recent cutting-edge AI research. Find an overview of the different initiatives here. Many of the talks can be joined online.
These bi-monthly machine learning seminars are organised by Priberam Labs and are held in person at Técnico. The series usually runs February – June every year.
The Unit organises an annual PhD and Postdoc Symposium for early career researchers to promote their research and get feedback from their peers.
The Unit held its first faculty retreat at the Lisbon Academy of Sciences in May 2024, bringing together senior members of the Unit for a day full of scientific and strategic discourse.
The Lisbon Machine Learning Summer School takes place yearly at Instituto Superior Técnico, covering a range of machine learning topics, from theory to practice, that are important in solving natural language processing problems arising in different application areas.
The Girls in AI project aims to share the paths of former and current Técnico students who followed a career in Artificial Intelligence (AI), showing the endless career opportunities in this area and inspiring more girls to follow them. Check out the videos featuring several of our brightest students/alumni talking about their work and what inspires them.
