The summer school will be particularly beneficial for grad

students in Machine Learning and IT professionals.

It is endorsed by the Machine Learning Summer School board

(http://www.mlss.cc/) and will focus on

scaling up state-of-the-art Machine Learning algorithms and

methods to massive real-world problems. The school consists

of long tutorials given by leading academics and lots of application

talks by researchers from Silicon Valley companies. The two-week event

will be held on the beautiful UCSC campus and the

participants will be housed in student apartments on a hill

overlooking the scenic Monterey Bay

(~ $408/$500 single/double for 13 nights).

Registration is open to students ($250), academics ($1000),
