The first edition of the Transylvanian Machine Learning Summer School (TMLSS) took place in Cluj-Napoca, Transylvania, Romania, from 16th to 22nd of July 2018. The focus of this edition was Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning.
All the lab materials, including full solutions, are now available on github. Check out the tmlss2018 repo.
We have put together a report summarising our motivations and experience in organising TMLSS. As part of the first step for planning the next edition, we have decided to change our name to better reflect our mission! We are now EEML (Eastern European Machine Learning summer school) with a new domain at eeml.eu. More details coming there soon!
