MLCC Summer School 2026 in Genoa, Italy | Last call

March 3rd, 2026 Daniela Lopez de Luise

*******************************************************************************

Summer School @MaLGa – Machine Learning Crash Course 2026

*******************************************************************************

Last call for the Summer School Machine Learning Crash Course (MLCC) 2026 https://malga.unige.it/education/schools/mlcc2026/.

The course is organized by MaLGa – the Machine Learning Genoa Center, as part of the ELLIS Genoa unit activities, and is taught by Nicoletta Noceti, Cesare Molinari and Lorenzo Rosasco. MLCC provides an introduction to fundamental concepts and algorithms of Machine Learning. The course presents the statistical learning theory framework with empirical risk minimization and regularization as guiding principles for algorithm design. Linear and nonlinear models will be discussed, including kernel methods and neural networks. The course also covers optimization aspects, discussing and analyzing gradient descent methods and backpropagation. 

Further advanced topics will be covered in a half-day workshop, with invited speakers.

This year we will host Sara Magliacane (UvA and Saarland University), Francesca Crucinio (University of Turin) and Andrea Tacchetti (Google DeepMind)!

The course is suitable for undergraduate/graduate students, as well as professionals.

The 23rd edition of CBMI (https://cbmi2026.sciencesconf.org), the conference endorse by IEEE and ACM SIGMM  will be organized by the IRIT laboratory at University of Toulouse Capitole, Toulouse, France. CBMI conference aims at bringing together the various communities involved in all aspects of content-based multimedia indexing for retrieval, browsing, management, visualization and analytics. Topics of interest to the CBMI community include, but are not limited to the following: audio and visual and multimedia analysis and indexing, multimodal and cross-modal indexing, deep learning for multimedia indexing, visual content extraction, audio (speech, music, etc.) content extraction, identification and tracking of semantic regions and events, social media analysis, …
CBMI 2026 aims to host special sessions during the conference. Special sessions are mini-venues, each focusing on topic within the content-based multimedia indexing field which is not directly covered by the list of topics for the conference, but which are beneficial to the community. It may cover a theoretical or and application-oriented questions.

LLM-SOA Workshop at CAiSE 2026: Final Call for Papers

March 3rd, 2026 Daniela Lopez de Luise

Second Workshop on Large Language Models for Service-Oriented Architectures and Systems Design, co-located with CAiSE 2026 (June 8-12, 2026, Verona, Italy)

 

Workshop Website: https://dbwis.gitlab.io/llm-soa/

 

 

Final Call for Papers

 

In recent years, Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as a transformative technology, opening new opportunities across various fields, including Information Systems design. While LLMs excel in Natural Language Processing tasks, such as text translation and summarization, their potential in software architecture design and, in particular, in service-oriented solutions, is still underexplored.

 

This workshop aims to provide a forum for innovative proposals striving to integrate LLMs in the landscape of Service-Oriented Architectures and Systems. Of particular interest are the benefits delivered by the adoption of LLMs in improving the design of service-oriented architectural solutions (and their impact on efficiency, accuracy, and scalability) as well as their use in tasks such as service discovery and composition.

 

Topics of Interest (not limited to):

  • Usage of LLMs to improve efficiency, accuracy, and scalability of software architectures, with a particular concern on service-oriented solutions
  • Approaches for service discovery and composition with LLMs
  • Use of LLMs for the improvement of Service-Oriented Architectures and Systems design
  • Interoperability and integration of services in Service-Oriented Architectures and Systems with LLMs
  • Practical implementations and evaluation of LLMs for service interoperability
  • Novel approaches for real-world applications of LLMs in Service-Oriented Architectures and Systems

 

Important Dates

  • Submission deadline: March 8, 2026
  • Notification: March 31, 2026
  • Camera-ready: April 7, 2026
  • Workshop: June 8-9, 2026

 

Submission Guidelines

Submissions should present original results not currently under review or published elsewhere. Ongoing research work is also welcome. The workshop accepts:

  • Regular papers (up to 12 pages)
  • Short/position papers (6-8 pages)

 

Page limit includes all text, figures, references, and appendices. Three to five keywords characterizing the paper should be listed at the end of the abstract. As the review process is not blind, please indicate your name and affiliation when you submit. Submissions must be in PDF and follow Springer LNCS/LNBIP formatting guidelines (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).
