FRAMEWORK:
DeepLearn 2023 Summer is part of a multi-event called Deep&Big 2023 consist=
ing also of BigDat 2023 Summer. DeepLearn 2023 Summer participants will hav=
e the opportunity to attend lectures in the program of BigDat 2023 Summer a=
s well if they are interested.
SCOPE:
DeepLearn 2023 Summer will be a research training event with a global scope=
aiming at updating participants on the most recent advances in the critica=
l and fast developing area of deep learning. Previous events were held in B=
ilbao, Genova, Warsaw, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Guimar=C3=A3es, Las Palm=
as de Gran Canaria, Lule=C3=A5, Bournemouth and Bari.
Deep learning is a branch of artificial intelligence covering a spectrum of=
current frontier research and industrial innovation that provides more eff=
icient algorithms to deal with large-scale data in a huge variety of enviro=
nments: computer vision, neurosciences, speech recognition, language proces=
sing, human-computer interaction, drug discovery, health informatics, medic=
al image analysis, recommender systems, advertising, fraud detection, robot=
ics, games, finance, biotechnology, physics experiments, biometrics, commun=
ications, climate sciences, geographic information systems, signal processi=
ng, genomics, etc. etc. Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lectu=
re and share their views with the audience.
Most deep learning subareas will be displayed, and main challenges identifi=
ed through 18 four-hour and a half courses and 2 keynote lectures, which wi=
ll tackle the most active and promising topics. The organizers are convince=
d that outstanding speakers will attract the brightest and most motivated s=
tudents. Face to face interaction and networking will be main ingredients o=
f the event. It will be also possible to fully participate in vivo remotely=
.
An open session will give participants the opportunity to present their own=
work in progress in 5 minutes. Moreover, there will be two special session=
s with industrial and employment profiles.
ADDRESSED TO:
Graduate students, postgraduate students and industry practitioners will be=
typical profiles of participants. However, there are no formal pre-requisi=
tes for attendance in terms of academic degrees, so people less or more adv=
anced in their career will be welcome as well. Since there will be a variet=
y of levels, specific knowledge background may be assumed for some of the c=
ourses. Overall, DeepLearn 2023 Summer is addressed to students, researcher=
s and practitioners who want to keep themselves updated about recent develo=
pments and future trends. All will surely find it fruitful to listen to and=
discuss with major researchers, industry leaders and innovators.
VENUE:
DeepLearn 2023 Summer will take place in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, on the=
Atlantic Ocean, with a mild climate throughout the year, sandy beaches and=
a renowned carnival. The venue will be:
Instituci=C3=B3n Ferial de Canarias
Avenida de la Feria, 1
35012 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
STRUCTURE:
2 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 f=
rom one to another.
Also, if interested, participants will be able to attend courses developed =
in BigDat 2023 Summer, which will be held in parallel and at the same venue=
.
Full live online participation will be possible. The organizers highlight, =
however, the importance of face to face interaction and networking in this =
kind of research training event.

participants will be free to attend the courses they wish as well as event=
ually courses in BigDat 2023 Summer.
Since the capacity of the venue is limited, registration requests will be p=
rocessed on a first come first served basis. The registration period will b=
e closed and the on-line registration tool disabled when the capacity of th=
e venue will have got exhausted. It is highly recommended to register prior=
to the event.
FEES:
Fees comprise access to all courses and lunches. There are several early re=
gistration deadlines. Fees depend on the registration deadline.
The fees for on site and for online participation are the same.
