Schedule

Attendees not from the local area are advised to arrive the day before and schedule leaving after 8 pm on the Friday.

ELLIS Poster Session and Networking Event- Our goal is to bring students, researchers, and engineers from the greater Cambridge area (UK) together for an opportunity to meet and discuss recent machine learning research (recently published as well as ongoing work). Primarily, we wish to provide an opportunity for young researchers —some of whom have been doing research only during the duration of the pandemic— to promote their work and meet people from their local community. The event will feature poster sessions and a networking event.
