MLE Days 2023

MLE School Hörsaal

Similar to the previous year, the MLE Days 2023 at the Technical University of Hamburg (TUHH) provided insights into engineering and operational fields of application of machine learning in conjunction with a summer school. The conference has again been co-organized by Hereon and provided presentations on the basics of machine learning as well as on specific use cases like electrical engineering, materials science or aviation and maritime logistics. A poster session and an elevator pitch event allowed participants to present their own work on machine learning topics. The best posters and pitches were awarded prizes and Lisa Sahlmann, one of VIPCOAT's PhD students, won the best poster award. Again, a networking event allows attendees to establish contacts with selected corporate partners and sponsors, from start-ups and medium-sized businesses to large corporations. In the startup-challenge, attendees could learn how to turn their machine learning ideas into a business.
