The VU Machine Learning Seminar aims to bring together researchers across departments at the VU. Our goal is to create a space for discussing fundamental and applied research involving machine learning, fostering interactive discussions across all stages of research, from initial ideas to completed work.
The seminar always takes place bi-weekly at 10:00 (CET) on Monday.
Next Seminar: Neuro-symbolic Association Rule Mining
Schedule
Seminars always take place between 10.00-11.00 (CET) once every two weeks on Monday.
