Dear colleagues,

On Thursday May 31st, we're organising a full-day workshop dedicated to the usage of machine learning for information management at the Université libre de Bruxelles. Two hands-on tutorials on the usage of Topic Modeling and Word Embeddings are organised in the morning and the afternoon session offers talks by André Vellino (University of Ottawa), Mette van Essen (Nationaal Archief Netherlands), Graham McDonald (University of Glasgow) and Tan Lu & Ann Dooms (Vrije Universiteit Brussel). Speakers will address various aspects of leveraging machine learning for the management of large volumes of non-structured documents and images. 

The workshop is free of charge but registration is required. Please note that intermediate IT skills are required for the tutorials, as some aspects will involve usage of the command line. The afternoon session is open to anyone who wants to learn more about the possibilities and limits of machine learning. For more information on the schedule and registration, please visit https://ulbstic.github.io/workshop/. 

Looking forward to see you in Brussels!
