The Camp

Ethical & Responsible Machine Learning Summer Camp is an intermediate level camp focusing on the issues of sustainability, transparency and fairness in the data and machine learning domain. Workshops will tackle current ethical challenges and will be combined with introductory hands-on projects and coding for building trustworthy and fair ML models using various Python libraries. 

Our goal is to inspire and give you a good foundation to continue learning more about the field. The camp is perfect for you who have some basic machine learning, AI and/or data science knowledge and would learn how to practically, with code, deal with ethical issues related to sustainability, transparency and fairness. We especially welcome people with different backgrounds as diversity is an important part of ethical ML and we believe that we can all learn from each other one step at a time.

When we’re not coding, there will be opportunities to do various social activities like yoga, hiking and hearing inspirational talks from the teachers and guest speakers. We will cook and clean together in smaller teams. The camp will be a social occasion to learn together with others and get a network within the field. 

Come join us to learn how to build better machine learning models!

The Workshops 

    After the course we expect you to have got:

  • An introduction to the basic concepts in the ethical and responsible ML field
  • Understanding of the challenges related to different types of models and their level of explainability
  • Tools for increasing transparency in machine learning through explainability methods and visualizations
  • Understanding of the roots and consequences of discriminatory bias in machine learning models
  • Methods for identifying, measuring and mitigating discriminatory bias in machine learning
  • Techniques for measuring and monitoring environmental impact of ML models


All you need to know

When and where?
Wednesday August 24 to Sunday August 28 2022 in Vårtorp, outside Rottne (detailed instructions on how to get to the camp will be sent out to the participant before the camp).

Who is this camp for? 
We welcome all women-identified, whether they are girls, aunts, ladies, cis or trans. Our events are of course also open to those who do not identify themselves as women but because of gender identity does not feel represented among programmers. 

What are the prerequisites?

  • Basic programming knowledge (preferably in Python)
  • Familiarity with common ML problems and terminology, such as preparing data, knowing the difference between regression and classification, what it means for an algorithm to be supervised or unsupervised, some evaluation metrics (accuracy, precision, recall) and som basic math/statistics knowledge (mean, standard deviation)
  • You will have to bring your own computer

There is no need to ba a math genius or already have a master in data science & machine learning - we are here to learn and develop! 💖

What is the price?

  • Corporate price: 11 400 SEK (For companies that want to send their employees)
  • Regular price: 6 700 SEK
  • Student or unemployed price: 4700 SEK

What is included in the ticket price?

  • All meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) which we will cook together at the house.
  • An intensive course in Ethical & Responsible Machine Learning. After the camp you are able to continue to evolve on your own, and above all, we hope you've had a lot of fun.
  • You will also get a certificate after finished course that you can add to your CV and Linkedin.

What is not included?

  • Travel costs are not included in the price.
