ScaDS.AI Dresden/Leipzig happily invites you to the 9th International Summer School on AI and Big Data. Our yearly summer school aimes at graduate students, Ph.D. students, researchers as well as practitioners starting or being active in the areas of Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and/or Big Data. Within the program, we will offer inspiring insights into various research areas by internationally recognized and well known speakers.
The 9th International Summer School on AI and Big Data will take place from 03.07 – 07.07.2023 in Dresden at:
Dorint Hotel Dresden
Grunaer Str. 14
01069 Dresden
Germany

This year, we have invited national and international experts to Dresden to give you in-depth insights into the latest research developments, especially around the leading topic how to cope with large AI models. Here both is needed, large-scale and high quality training data and the capability to train large AI models on them. Therefore, amongst other contributions, the summer school will focus this year on large AI models, in particular for Natural Language Processing, the acquisition and management of community data as well as the handling of both on required computing architectures.
The quality and availability of NLP models has been tremendously increased in the past months, both by using large amounts of data and large computing infrastructures. Therefore experts working in this field will cover the latest developments and extend possibilities around NLP to further application scenarios besides the chat approach. We will extend this topic into community data preparation for AI and the strategies to process data and models for relevant applications. The keynotes will be given by international experts from their fields, among others including:
as well as many other experts from our competence center and other research institutions.
The standard ticket for Summer School 2023 includes the day’s catering and the social program. Travel costs and accommodation are covered by the participants themselves. Please note, that the participation fees for employees of TU Dresden will be charged via internal cost allocation. For non-affiliates of TU Dresden, the payment is made by invoice.
The 9th International Summer School on AI and Big Data will provide opportunities to exchange ideas and to discuss the topics with other participants and speakers. Within our program, we will offer plenty of time to get in contact with the speakers and allow you to ask questions. This way, participants will be able to get to connect and partner with other international practitioners and researchers.

A limited number of rooms are available for our participants at the conference hotel Dorint at a special price of 89 EUR incl. breakfast. These can be called up and thus reserved directly at the hotel under the keyword “Summer School” up to 4 weeks before the start of the conference (i.e. by 05.06.2023 at the latest). These can be cancelled after reservation up to 3 days in advance. A later cancellation would then no longer be possible.
Furthermore, it is pointed out that from July 2023 there is no longer an exemption from the accommodation tax in Dresden. Thus, 6% of the accommodation price will be charged at each hotel.
We recommend booking as soon as possible.
The summer school is organized by ScaDS.AI (Center for Scalable Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence) Dresden/Leipzig, one of five new AI centers in Germany funded under the federal government’s AI strategy.
