Selection
The DLRL Summer School uses a scoring system to select the majority of participants. Applicants with a higher score have a higher probability of being accepted. The scoring system favours applicants who are graduate students that have not attended the DLRL Summer School in the past and whose research areas are closer to the scope of the summer school. Additional consideration is given to applicants who identify as a member of an under-represented group in AI.
CIFAR Inclusive AI Scholarship
CIFAR is pleased to launch the CIFAR Inclusive AI Scholarship this year, which will be awarded this year to all students who are admitted into the CIFAR DLRL Summer School who self-identify as Black or Indigenous. The scholarship will cover registration fees, transportation costs, meals, and accommodations for the duration of the Summer School, in accordance with CIFAR’s travel policy.
Please note:
- Trainees who applied for previous years’ DLRL Summer Schools but were not successful will be required to reapply.
- The DLRL Summer School sessions will take place in English only, to accommodate the widest number of international students.
Who Should Apply?
Graduate students, postdocs, and early-career researchers in quantitative disciplines, who have some knowledge of machine learning, deep learning, and reinforcement learning. We welcome students from all around the world, with a focus on inclusion of those who identify as members of underrepresented groups in AI.
