Ku Leuven, where Prof. Tias Guns is teaching, is organizing the ACP (Association for Constraint Programming) Summer School on “Machine Learning for Constraint Programming”, from 10 to 14 July.

The summer school will have a mix of talks and hands-on lab sessions, given by experts in the integration of ML and constraint solving.

The expert that will be intervening will be: Hendrik Blockeel, Quentin Cappart, Ferdinando Fioretto, Tias Guns, Elias Khalil, Wouter Kool, Lars Kotthoff, Michele Lombardi, Dimos Tsouros and Yingqian Zhang.

Topics will range from introductory sessions to sessions on automated tuning, prediction-based solving, reinforcement learning for branching and solution approximation, decision-focused learning, constraint acquisition and more. Only basic ML/constraint knowledge is required to participate.

There will also be a poster session for participants to present their own work, and a small-groups hackathon to experiment and get feedback on integrations that they care about.
