InterCoML: Interactions between Control Theory and Machine Learning
COST Action CA24136 exploits the deep interconnections between Control Theory (CT) and Machine Learning (ML). It will boost applications of tools from CT to ML and vice versa, and explore the great applicative potential that can be released by combining these two rapidly evolving research areas.
