Application

Application Process

[Application Closed!]

Considering the limited space of the lecture hall, and in order to have a better interaction between the audience and the speakers, MLSS does not guarantee that your application will be accepted. After submitting your application, please wait untill April 25 to get notification on whether your application is accepted or not. If accepted you will have to pay the registration fee. Only applicants whose application have been accepted and who have paid the registration fee by May 30, will be allowed to attend MLSS.

We will maintain a waiting list of borderline applications. If some applicants whose application have been accepted but failed to finish the registration payment by May 30th, their seats will be reallocated to some people on the waiting list.

MLSS-Beijing is a non-profit event, and all incomes will be used for the summer school itself.

Timeline

Notice:Due to the requests of many ICML authors, the application deadline of MLSS has been postponed to April 15th, after the ICML author notification date April 9th. (To be fair for early registrants, those who have already registered will have priority when MLSS selects attendees).
