Dear all,
The second edition of the Southeast Asia Machine Learning School (SeaMLS <http://seamls.ai/> 2020) will be held at Da Nang City People’s Committee in Da Nang, Vietnam between July 20th - July 25th, 2020. The SeaMLS provides a unique opportunity for the underrepresented Southeast Asian machine learning community to learn from the top experts in the field, engage with like-minded students, academics, researchers, industry practitioners, and thought leaders in the field, and understand the current and future challenges in machine learning research, theory, and applications. == SCOPE == As the Southeast Asian community has been largely underrepresented in the machine learning field, the SeaMLS aims to kickstart an effort to inspire, encourage, and educate more machine learning engineers, researchers, and data scientists within the Southeast Asian region and beyond in the coming years. In particular, we work towards a critical vision of more Southeast Asians as pioneers, contributors, and shapers within the machine learning community. == INVITED SPEAKERS == 1.

The application process can be accessed here <https://www.seamls.ai/participate/>; please consult our FAQ <https://www.seamls.ai/faq/> for more details. The application process will close on April 3rd, 2020. Everyone is welcome to apply regardless of nationality or place of residence. No deep knowledge or prior experience in machine learning is required, although participants are expected to have some basic background on probabilities and programming. == TRAVEL GRANTS == We will have a limited number of financial assistance available for student participants traveling from within the Southeast Asian region. Depending on the financial needs, the travel grant can include travel cost reimbursements (including airplane tickets, up to a certain amount) and accommodation near the event venue, although we may not be able to cover the costs in full. == STRUCTURE == The SeaMLS will cover a one-week program that includes technical lecture sessions on basic and intermediate topics in machine learning and its applications, along with panel sessions. In addition, the event features a hands-on practical session to learn how to implement deep learning models in a modern software stack, social sessions, and poster presentation sessions. == REGISTRATION FEES == Student participants - free-of-charge Industry - US$ 300 Academia - US$ 200 The registration fee covers access to all lectures, panels, practical sessions, and social events, along with lunch and two coffee breaks per day. == VENUE == The event will be held at Da Nang City People's Committee in Da Nang, Vietnam. The venue is about 15 minutes by car from Da Nang International Airport. == ORGANIZERS AND CONTACT == 1. Dani Yogatama <https://dyogatama.github.io/> (DeepMind) 2.
