The Machine Learning School, organised collaboratively by the LENS initiative, was run by lecturers from facilities across Europe, including ISIS, PSI, ESS, ILL, and MLZ, with additional support from the STFC’s SciML group and the Jülich Supercomputing Centre.

The hands-on lectures covered a range of topics, from the very basics of how a neural network operates, to training a neural network to play Mrs Pac-Man (with a fair dose of more traditional methods inbetween!).

Resources from the School, including recordings of most of the lectures, are available online for all to access. Anyone with an interest in machine learning is encouraged to explore the lecture material and join the Slack channel for the LENS Machine Learning School for hints, tips and discussion on the projects going on across the European neutron and muon sources.
