MLSS (http://mlss.cc/) is back in Tübingen. It is hard to believe how much the field has changed since Alex Smola and I did the first MLSS, and since the first Tübingen edition in 2003. Our last in-person edition here was in 2017, so this feels long overdue (1/3)
Max Planck Institute's Bernhard Schölkopf announces the completed speaker roster for the Machine Learning Summer School's return to Tübingen
Story Overview
Bernhard Schölkopf has wrapped up the speaker lineup for the Machine Learning Summer School's in-person return to Tübingen at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, running August 31 through September 11 2026 as the series' 50th edition and first Tübingen gathering since 2017.
Why the hiatus highlights field changes
Organizers note the gap since the last Tübingen event in 2017 and point to major evolution in machine learning since the site's first edition in 2003, leaving open how the curriculum will reflect those shifts.
Speaker choices stay under wraps for now
The roster draws deliberately from alumni of two programs yet no individual names or selection criteria appear in the announcement, so the exact makeup remains an open detail ahead of the June 21 application deadline.
Users fondly recall the Machine Learning Summer School in Tübingen as a great experience that benefited them early in their PhD studies.
Most Activity
.... so we took the liberty of populating the speaker list with alumni from both (3/3).
@bschoelkopf I remember the 2007 one in Tuebingen :-)

@bschoelkopf I still fondly remember MLSS 2017. I had just started my PhD, and it was a great experience.
