About Conference

Welcome to the place where science meets engineering!

GHOST Day: AMLC aims at creating a friendly and vivid space for machine learning enthusiasts to exchange experiences and broaden their knowledge of the rapidly changing discipline of data analysis. Our speakers include recognized representatives of the scientific community publishing at top-tier global conferences such as NeurIPS or ICML and many experts from leading companies building machine learning-based products.

With the help of prestigious machine learning research centers and companies we have managed to organize 6 editions of the conference in the past, all of which were met with astoundingly positive feedback, both from the attendees as well as speakers and partners. You can find out more about previous speakers or their talks by navigating the top menu bar.

We would like to express our gratitude to all those who attended GHOST Day: Applied Machine Learning Conference 2025, held at the Lecture Center of Poznań University of Technology (Piotrowo 2, Poznań, Poland) in May. We hope you enjoyed the presentations, workshops and networking opportunities provided during our conference. If you want to stay updated on our future events and activities, please follow us on social media. You can find the links at the bottom of this page.

We look forward to seeing you at the next edition of GHOST Day!
