SCOPE:

DeepLearn 2021 Summer will be a research training event with a
global scope aiming at updating participants on the most recent
advances in the critical and fast developing area of deep
learning. Previous events were held in Bilbao, Genova and Warsaw.

Deep learning is a branch of artificial intelligence covering a
spectrum of current exciting research and industrial innovation
that provides more efficient algorithms to deal with large-scale
data in neurosciences, computer vision, speech recognition,
language processing, human-computer interaction, drug discovery,
biomedical informatics, healthcare, 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 24 four-hour and a half courses and
3 keynote lectures, 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. Moreover, there will be
two special sessions with industrial and recruitment profiles.

ADDRESSED TO:

Master's students, PhD students, postdocs, and industry
practitioners 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. Overall, DeepLearn 2021 Summer is addressed to students,
researchers and practitioners who want to keep themselves updated
about recent developments and future trends. All will surely find
it fruitful to listen and discuss with major researchers,
industry leaders and innovators.

VENUE:

DeepLearn 2021 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:

Palacio de Congresos Gran Canaria

OPEN SESSION:

An open session will collect 5-minute voluntary presentations of
work in progress by participants. They should submit a half-page
abstract containing the title, authors, and summary of the
research to david_at_irdta.eu by July 18, 2021.

INDUSTRIAL SESSION:

A session will be devoted to 10-minute demonstrations of
practical applications of deep learning in industry. Companies
interested in contributing are welcome to submit a 1-page
abstract containing the program of the demonstration and the
logistics needed. People participating in the demonstration must
register for the event. Expressions of interest have to be
submitted to david_at_irdta.eu by July 18, 2021.

EMPLOYER SESSION:

Firms searching for personnel well skilled in deep learning will
have a space reserved for one-to-one contacts. It is recommended
to produce a 1-page .pdf leaflet with a brief description of the
