Thanks so much for giving us this wonderful opportunity!&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;I really liked everything and I will recommend ALPS to all my peers. Congrats for the great organization. Maybe I would like to come again in the future &#8220;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;It has been fantastic connecting with other students in a less overwhelming setting (such as conferences).&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Location is amazing, speakers are great in general, and everything organised nicely.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;The balance between fun and work \u2014 I felt like I am always excited to start the next day.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Beautiful setting. Lovely people.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Was great, thank you for organising it!!&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;I really appreciated the kindness of the organizers, the quality of the talks, and the interactions with other participants.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Amazing \u2014 opened my eyes to different fields and the bigger picture of research.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The chance to connect with top-tier researchers from various sub-fields was very much appreciated!\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I enjoyed the winter school and I would highly recommend it. I learned so much that would help me in my research going forward. I connected with so many people that I will hopefully collaborate with in future and that was quite exciting to me.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I met people who share similar research interests and absolutely loved sharing ideas over the week. I would def consider reaching out to them for related topics and keeping in touch to maybe collaborate in the future.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I had so much fun during the social activities. A good way to know each other and engage with other participants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Presentations were really impressive. Lot of details and every speaker made the effort to make their research accessible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The activities are one of the highlights of my experience in ALPS 2025.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It&#8217;s was really cool. The snowshoeing was excellent. Free time is important to interact with people\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Karaoke was awesome, the best activity. I also loved snowshoeing, I just wished it lasted a bit longer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2024<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The school was an excellent initiative and I hope I can attend it again in the future. Thank you to all the organizers!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The location, the thorough organization and organizers, the discord were definitely a great addition that made the experience even nicer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It was great ! Hard to take place in a better place<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Having such a narrow focus of topic with world class speakers attending is an extremely good concept and made ALPS stand out compared to other research schools I have attended (those had a much broader focus e.g. &#8220;Deep Learning&#8221;). Proximity to the mountains is another (non-scientific) plus and justifies the great name.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The multiple mini poster sessions. allowed each person to understand and explain their work clearly without information ovrelaod.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Best speakers and attendees. It was very nice to exchange ideas and realise that there are a lot of like-minded people<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I really enjoyed this Winter school ; the lectures and speakers were great and available, the nature activities organized by Laurent awesome, I think you managed to find a very good balance between scientific activities and free time, the organization was really well done and everything made easy for the participants. <em>Would definitly recommend<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Meeting a lot of great people (speakers and attendees), and discussing about advanced topics in NLP, in opposition to other more surface level summer school<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I really liked the poster sessions and other activities (birds of a feather, nature activities and lunch times), where we could get to know each other&#8217;s topics, discuss about scientific subjects and know each other more personnally<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>BoF and Karaoke were amazing! The place is great and nature activities, awesome \ud83d\ude42 best winter school I have been!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2026 2025 2024<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-851","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/lig-alps.imag.fr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/851","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/lig-alps.imag.fr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/lig-alps.imag.fr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/lig-alps.imag.fr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/lig-alps.imag.fr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=851"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/lig-alps.imag.fr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/851\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":993,"href":"http:\/\/lig-alps.imag.fr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/851\/revisions\/993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/lig-alps.imag.fr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=851"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
