Though the programs were formally christened as Summer School on Computer Vision and Machine Learning respectively, the former deals with the basics of machine learning or application of classic machine learning in areas such as computer vision, image processing, biometrics while the latter is more theoretical and deals with the latest advancements in machine learning. Besides lectures from in-house faculty of CVIT, the summer schools are also addressed by other eminent national and international speakers. The end-goal of the Summer School Series is to catalyze high-quality research not just among the top research groups of the country but also among the second and third tier institutes.
