AI Summer School continued the tradition of the annual PhD Summer Schools that have been taking place at MSR Cambridge for the past 12 years. The 2018 School focussed on the topic of AI. 100 postgraduate students gathered in the Cambridge Lab in the week of 2 July 2018 to hear about AI, learn general research skills, get to know the MSR Cambridge Lab, and enjoy the opportunity to network and socialize with well-known people in the field as well as getting to know their peers from Universities across Europe and beyond.
Invited students will include PhD students in their first or second year from universities and research institutions with which Microsoft Research partners, as well as Microsoft Research PhD Scholars.
