We are glad to announce the second workshop of the Machine Learning Community (MLC) Dresden which will take place on 16th of May 2019 at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden - Rossendorf (HZDR). It is co-organised by HZDR and the Competence Center for Scalable Data Services and Solutions (ScaDS). In this workshop researchers in the field of machine learning are invited to come together, exchange their ideas, discuss problems and plan future cooperations in an easy-going atmosphere.

We welcome abstracts for talks at mlc@mailbox.tu-dresden.de by 25th of April. Please choose the length of your presentation: 10, 25 or 45 minutes. In the short talks also questions to the community, open points for discussion and work-in-progress can be presented. The length of the Abstract should be between three lines and half a page. To participate, please send a short registration email with your name and home institution to mlc@mailbox.tu-dresden.de by 25th of April.
