A one-week summer school providing rigorous education in the foundational mathematics of modern AI at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences (Wilberforce Road, Cambridge CB3 0WA, UK).
This summer school features four day-long lecture courses addressing topics often fragmented across different university departments. We are hosting graduate students and early career researchers to favour tight-knit interactions and collaborative dialogue.
Supported by Maths4DL and ProbAI.
Key results on neural network approximation, generalised to neural operators for learning mappings between infinite-dimensional function spaces.
Exploration of flow matching as a bridge between ODEs and density estimation, offering a deterministic alternative to diffusion models.
Operationalising geometry as a practical tool for ML, addressing learning on graphs and incorporating geometric priors into probabilistic models.
Addressing complex optimisation challenges, drawing connections between classical methods and modern deep learning frameworks.
Each lecturer will teach for one day, roughly from 09:00 to 17:00.
Wednesday morning is dedicated to participant talks/posters, followed by a free afternoon to explore Cambridge.

To foster interaction, we encourage attendees to present their own research on Wednesday morning.
Includes lunch & coffee breaks on Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri, plus Wed morning coffee. (Dinners are not included).
The Centre for Mathematical Sciences is located on Wilberforce Road (CB3 0WA). It is west of the city centre and easily accessible by a 15-minute walk, cycling, or the regular U-Bus service from the centre.
Students must book their own accommodation promptly. We recommend booking college rooms via University Rooms. Churchill College, Fitzwilliam College, and Robinson College are the closest to the CMS.
Wednesday afternoon is kept completely free for participants to explore the historic city of Cambridge.
Application Deadline: 15 May 2026
All applications will be reviewed by the organising committee. Once your place is confirmed we will send you a link for payment.
