Dear colleagues,
We would like to bring to your attention the upcoming Summer School on
Advanced Artificial Intelligence for precision High Energy Physics,
hosted by the Lake Como School of Advanced Studies (Como, Italy) and
taking place on July 14-25, 2025.
The school is co-organized by the Universita degli Studi di Milano
(Italy), Nikhef and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (The Netherlands), and
the Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics, Edinburgh University (UK).
Artificial intelligence techniques are becoming increasingly important
in high energy physics (HEP), with a range of applications that goes
from analytic computations and symbolic regression to modeling,
optimization and pattern recognition. Many of these applications tackle
cutting-edge problems in machine learning (ML), and in fact address
issues, such as the need to accurate uncertainty estimations, that are
often disregarded in the most common ML applications. The goal of this
school is to provide hands-on training on cutting edge machine learning
methods in HEP by combining extensive advanced courses taught with
extended tutorial sessions. The tutorials will exploit as a playing
ground the NNPDF open-source code, which, originally aimed at the
determination of parton distribution, makes use of a variety of current
ML, statistical and analysis tools and techniques of wide applicability.
The topics and lectures of the courses are:
Miles Cranmer (Cambridge University, UK): Machine learning
Melissa van Beekveld (NIKHEF, Amsterdam): Quantum Chromodynamics
Tobias Golling (Universite de Geneve): Data science and data analysis
José Ignacio Latorre (Quantum Research Centre, Abu Dhabi, and
Center for Quantum Technologies Singapore): Quantum computing and
quantum machine learning
More information about the school, including registration and travel
logistics, can be found in the corresponding websites:

No registration fee is required. Lunches and a conference dinner will be
provided for free to participants, however participants will have to
arrange and pay for their accommodation and the other dinners. A number
of rooms is available at the local guesthouse upon request at registration.
We would be most grateful if you could distribute this announcement
among potentially interested candidates. The school announcement can
