Scope
DeepLearn 2017 will be a research training event with a global
scope aiming at updating participants about the most recent advances in the
critical and fast developing area of deep learning. This is a branch of
artificial intelligence covering a spectrum of current exciting machine learning
research and industrial innovation that provides more efficient algorithms to
deal with large-scale data in neuroscience, computer vision, speech recognition,
language processing, drug discovery, biomedical informatics, recommender
systems, earning theory, robotics, etc. Renowned academics and industry pioneers
will lecture and share their views with the audience.
Most deep learning
subareas will be displayed, and main challenges identified through 4 keynote
lectures, 28 six-hour courses, and 1 round table, which will tackle the most
active and promising topics. The organizers are convinced that outstanding
speakers will attract the brightest and most motivated students. Interaction
will be a main component of the event. An open session will give participants
the opportunity to present their own work in progress in 5 minutes.
Addressed to
In principle, graduate students, doctoral students and postdocs from around the world will be typical profiles of participants. However, there are no formal pre-requisites for attendance in terms of academic degrees. Since there will be a variety of levels, specific knowledge background may be assumed for some of the courses. DeepLearn 2017 is also appropriate for more senior people who want to keep themselves updated on recent developments and future trends. All will surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss with major researchers, industry leaders and innovators.
Regime
In addition to keynotes, 3-4 courses will run in parallel during the whole event. Participants will be able to freely choose the courses they wish to attend as well as to move from one to another.
