[ISSPR] International Summer School on Pattern Recognition

Posted in Algorithms, computing, Jargon, machine learning, Personal by HLee on Sep. 18, 2011

The 7th ISSPR was the worst Summer School I’ve ever attended.

Lecture-wise, it was o.k. Some lecturers were good, some lecturers looked a bit careless. Overall, the lecture quality was somewhat comparable to those summer schools I attended in the US. The rest, it was really bad. This summer school was the worst compared to those summer schools I attended or I helped. Always, small things matter. Once I have time, I’ll list what was good and what were bad. You can expect a long list of bad part but an extremely short list of good part.

  1. The reception at the residence hall was too careless. I had to stay longer because transportation schedule didn’t fit to the conference schedule. The housing included the breakfast but they didn’t guide me a place to eat. Later, I asked and they only told a place that is closed.
  2. The conference housing never replaced towels during the week stay. It cost 40 pounds and the room was small. No amenities and no fresh towels. DRATS!!!
