Definition

ML in PL Conference is a non-archival scientific conference on machine learning, organised by the ML in PL Association, a non-profit focused on building the machine learning research community in Poland. The three-day event at Copernicus Science Centre in Warsaw brings together approximately 600 researchers, academics, and advanced practitioners to present and discuss advances in machine learning across theory, methods, and applications. The non-archival format means submitted work is eligible for subsequent publication at major ML venues.

What ML in PL Conference covers in 2026

The programme covers machine learning research and applications across both theoretical and applied dimensions: deep learning methods and architectures, reinforcement learning, generative models, natural language processing and large language models, computer vision and multimodal learning, ML for scientific applications, algorithmic fairness and robustness, and practical deployment challenges in research contexts.

FAQ · Identity and audience

What does "non-archival" mean for this conference?

Non-archival means that work presented at ML in PL Conference is not officially published in conference proceedings that would preclude submission elsewhere. Authors can present preliminary or recent work and subsequently submit it to NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, or other major venues without conflict.

Is ML in PL Conference suitable for industry ML practitioners?

Yes, provided the practitioner has a research-level background in machine learning. The programme is scientific in orientation. Practitioners attending primarily for applied tooling or product discussions rather than research content will find the programme less directly applicable.

Who is ML in PL Conference NOT designed for?

Practitioners seeking hands-on workshops with applied ML tooling, non-technical executives, data analysts without ML research backgrounds, developers with introductory ML knowledge, startups seeking investor connections, and professionals focused on ML product management rather than technical research.

The venue: Centrum Nauki Kopernik (Copernicus Science Centre)

Centrum Nauki Kopernik (Copernicus Science Centre) is a science museum and public engagement centre on the Vistula riverfront in central Warsaw. The venue includes auditorium and conference facilities and is accessible from Warsaw city centre by bus and tram. It is one of the most distinctive scientific venues in Poland.

The organiser: ML in PL Association

ML in PL Association is a Polish non-profit organisation dedicated to developing the machine learning and AI research community in Poland. The association organises the annual ML in PL Conference and runs community activities throughout the year connecting Polish ML researchers with the international research community.

Editorial take

ML in PL Conference occupies a distinct position in the Central European AI calendar: it is a non-archival, non-profit scientific gathering that prioritises intellectual exchange over commercial networking, making it the primary venue for ML research discussion in Poland.

FAQ · Access and practicalities

How do I register?

Registration forms are available at conference.mlinpl.org. The organiser does not apply a selective admission process; registration is open.

How do I reach Copernicus Science Centre?

The venue is at Wybrzeze Kosciuszkowskie 20, 00-390 Warsaw, on the Vistula riverfront. It is accessible by tram from Warsaw city centre (approximately 10 minutes from the Old Town) and by bus from Warsaw Central Station. Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW) connects to major European cities; the city centre is 20-30 minutes by taxi or train.

Is ML in PL Conference affiliated with any major ML research venue?

The conference is independently organised by the ML in PL Association and is not an official workshop or satellite of NeurIPS, ICML, or ICLR. The non-archival format is designed to complement rather than compete with those venues.
