Location: Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford

OxML is an international machine learning summer school bringing together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry. The Poster Challenge is designed to showcase high-quality research and applied work across Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, while fostering discussion and feedback within the OxML community.

 

Tracks

Submissions must be made to one of the following tracks:

• MLx Health & Bio

Machine learning research and applications in healthcare, medicine, and the life sciences.

• MLx Representation Learning & Generative AI

Advances in deep learning, representation learning, generative models, large language models, and modern AI systems.

 

Scope and Submissions

We welcome submissions from researchers, practitioners, and students at all career stages.

Submissions may include:

• Poster versions of papers under preparation or submission to major ML/AI conferences (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL)

• Work-in-progress and preliminary results

• Applied ML systems and real-world deployments

• Interdisciplinary research, replication studies, or clearly stated negative results

Submission Requirements

Each submission must include:

• A single poster PDF (A0 or A1 format recommended)
