Registration is free and required, limited to the seats of the auditorium: https://goo.gl/forms/d61WVn8gSwb5AJV63
Title: The Algorithmization of Architecture
Since many other areas, architecture is going through a deep but irreversible change: the new generation of practitioners starts to adopt algorithmic approaches in their project processes, which allows conceiving ways that were almost unthinkable before.
Besides that, using algorithms, project and analysis processes are automated and also can optimize projects.
In this presentation we will discuss the algorithmization of architecture and also present some recent developments in this area.
Guest Speaker: António Menezes Leitão*.
At this session will also be presented the article “Model Driven Automatic Code Generation: An Evolutionary Approach to Disruptive Innovation Benefits”, written by João Penha-Lopes, Manuel Au-Yong-Oliveira e Ramiro Gonçalves.
Guest Speaker: João Penha-Lopes**.

Upcoming Events
11th Lisbon Machine Learning Summer School
LxMLS 2021 will take place July 7th to July 15th in online format (via zoom and slack). It is organized jointly by Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), a leading Engineering and Science school in Portugal, the Instituto de Telecomunicações, the Instituto de Engenharia de Sistemas e Computadores, Investigação e Desenvolvimento em Lisboa (INESC-ID), Unbabel and Cleverly.

Call for Participation
Important Dates
—————
* Application Deadline: May 15, 2021
* Decision: June 1, 2021
* Early Registration: June 15 – July 1, 2021
* Summer School: July 7 – 15, 2021
Topics and Intended Audience
—————
The school will cover a range of Machine Learning (ML) topics, from theory to practice, that are important in solving Natural Language Processing (NLP) problems that arise in the analysis and use of Web data.
Our target audience is:
- Researchers and graduate students in the fields of NLP and Computational Linguistics;
- Computer scientists who have interests in statistics and machine learning;
- Industry practitioners who desire a more in depth understanding of these subjects.
Features of LxMLS:
- No deep previous knowledge of ML or NLP is required, but the attendants are assumed to have some basic background on mathematics and programming
- Lecturers are leading researchers in machine learning and natural language processing (see speakers)
- Days are divided into morning lectures and afternoon lab sessions and practical talks (see schedule)
- The Labs guide will be provided one month in advance. Last year’s guide can be found here
- A day zero is scheduled to review basic concepts and introduce the necessary tools for implementation exercises
- Both basic (e.g linear classifiers) and advanced topics (e.g. deep learning, reinforcement learning) will be covered
Online Format:
Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, the 11th Lisbon Machine Learning School will be held online (via zoom and slack). Similar to last year, we are excited for the opportunity to create a virtual school, where you will be able to attend all the lectures, and participate in the Q&As and labs remotely. We will also provide the tools for students to engage with each other remotely. The lectures will also be streamed to YouTube, and will become freely available later in our YouTube channel. The Q&A, labs and social activities will remain restricted to the accepted students only.
