What is ELLIS?
The European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS) is a pan-European AI network of excellence which focuses on fundamental science, technical innovation and societal impact. Founded in 2018, ELLIS builds upon machine learning as the driver for modern AI and aims to secure Europe’s sovereignty in this competitive field by creating a multi-centric AI research laboratory. ELLIS has established 39 units in 14 different countries in Europe. It has also launched the ELLIS PhD Program, one of Europe’s most competitive PhD programs which aims to foster and educate the best talent in machine learning and related research areas by pairing outstanding students with leading academic and industrial researchers across Europe. The ELLIS PhD Program has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under ELISE Grant Agreement No. 951847.

What is EDS2023?

The ELLIS Doctoral Symposium is an annual conference for ELLIS PhD students and other PhD students to meet in person and share knowledge about machine learning. The ELLIS Doctoral Symposium 2023 (EDS2023) is the third edition, and will be held at Aalto University in Finland. It is expected to host 150 attendees during one week at the end of August. Join us for keynotes, poster sessions and social events!

Participants are expected to present a poster or prepare a tooling session with a strong machine learning component. The topic of the poster or tooling session is completely open, as the ELLIS Programs bring together researchers from multiple disciplines within the machine learning community (Computer Vision, NLP, Theoretical ML, Reinforcement Learning, Human-Centric ML…). If you don’t already exactly know what are you going to present, feel free to submit a tentative title.

The overall theme of this year’s symposium is Sensibility in AI.

The goal is to bring 150 of the best PhD students together to discuss their work through multiple poster and tooling sessions. In addition, students will have the opportunity to attend talks from leading researchers throughout the week! EDS2023 is a follow up to the hugely successful EDS22 held in Alicante and EDS21 in Tübingen.
