You are welcome to apply for the virtual edition of the Nordic Probabilistic AI School <https://probabilistic.ai/> (ProbAI) 2021 being held on June 14-18. 🌍
*APPLY NOW <https://probabilistic.ai/application>* — The application deadline is March 31 AoE (Anywhere on Earth), but we recommend an early application. *About virtual ProbAI 2021* The mission of the second Nordic Probabilistic AI School (ProbAI) is to serve state-of-the-art expertise in probabilistic machine learning and artificial intelligence to the public, students, academia and industry. Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, we are designing a virtual experience that would still allow *social interactions and collaborations* similar to a physical event. And together with the wonderful constellation of invited lecturers, we hope to provide an efficient and quality knowledge transfer through *theoretical lectures*, collaborative *hands-on tutorials* and support from *teaching assistants*. With that in mind, we are also selecting digital platforms supporting such requirements. *Program* - *Keynote* — Max Welling <https://staff.fnwi.uva.nl/m.welling/> (University of Amsterdam) - *Introduction to Probabilistic Models* — Antonio Salmerón <https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=41enG0oAAAAJ> (University of Almería) - *Probabilistic Programming* — Andrés R.
