Description

The program of this year's summer school will focus on Graph Neural Networks, covering both fundamental concepts and practical applications. 

Participants can expect a mix of lectures and interactive sessions that provide insight into the mathematical foundations as well as real-world use cases of graph-based machine learning methods.

Further, the program includes:

  • a poster session and networking dinner on the first day

  • a social event

  • hands-on tutorials with a focus on applications

  • sessions combining theoretical perspectives with practical examples 

 

This course was made possible through Course Funding by HIDA, which supported its development and implementation.
