************************************************************
INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL ON DEEP LEARNING
DeepLearn 2017
Bilbao, Spain
July 17-21, 2017
Organized by:
University of Deusto
Rovira i Virgili University
http://grammars.grlmc.com/DeepLearn2017/
************************************************************
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,
learning theory, robotics, games, 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, 24 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 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.
VENUE:
DeepLearn 2017 will take place in Bilbao, the largest city in the Basque
Country, famous for its gastronomy and the seat of the Guggenheim Museum. The
venue will be:
DeustoTech, School of Engineering
University of Deusto
Avda. Universidades, 24
