This summer school is part of the Bernoulli Center programme at EPFL, to be held from 1 to 5 September 2025.

The 2025 Summer School on the Mathematical Foundations of Data Science is designed for MSc and PhD students interested in the theoretical underpinnings of data science. As the second installment of a rotating international series (following the 2024 edition in Australia and preceding the 2026 edition in Singapore), the school offers a unique opportunity to learn from leading researchers at the interface of mathematics and machine learning. The confirmed speakers are Francis Bach, Afonso S. Bandeira, Stéphane Mallat, Andrea Montanari and Gabriel Peyré, who will cover topics ranging from structured prediction and random matrix theory to image generation, overfitting, and optimal transport. Participants can expect a rich program combining foundational insights with cutting-edge developments.
