From July 19–25, ~140 international Master’s and PhD students join the @ellisunitlisbon.bsky.social 🇵🇹 Machine Learning Summer School for a week of NLP-focused lectures, posters, and hands-on sessions, led by top international speakers. Held at @istecnico.bsky.social 🔗 lxmls.it.pt/2025/index.h...

Fully open machine learning requires not only GPU access but a community commitment to openness. (Some nostalgic lessons from the ImageNet decade.)
