Deep Learning Summer School 2015
Several months ago, i applied to Deep Learning Summer School 2015 in Canada. Organizer of this event are Yoshua Bengio, Roland Memisevic, Yann LeCun the last name that i mention is Director AI Research Facebook. The event will held on Monday August 3, 2015 until Wednesday August 12 2015, inclusively. And the price is :
- students: 500 $CA
- other academics: 750 $CA
- others (industry): 1000 $CA.
The speakers who will be speak on the conference are :
- Yoshua Bengio (University of Montreal),
- Leon Bottou (MSR),
- Phil Blunsom (Google DeepMind, University of Oxford),
- Adam Coates (Baidu),
- Aaron Courville (University of Montreal),
- Ian Goodfellow (Google),
- Hugo Larochelle (University of Sherbrooke),
- Honglak Lee (University of Michigan),
- Chris Manning (Stanford University),
- Roland Memisevic (University of Montreal),
- Ruslan Salakhutdinov (University of Toronto),
- Mark Schmidt (University of British Columbia),
- Richard Socher (MetaMind)
- Graham Taylor (University of Guelph),
- Pascal Vincent (University of Montreal)
I’m very interested to apply this summer school because i need to improve my experience and knowledge in Deep Learning. From the speakers also i can gain a lot of experience in deep learning.
First what is deep learning, according to the site, Deep learning is Deep neural networks that learn to represent data in multiple layers
of increasing abstraction have dramatically improved the
state-of-the-art for speech recognition, object recognition, object
detection, predicting the activity of drug molecules, and many other
tasks. Deep learning discovers intricate structure in large datasets by building distributed representations, either via supervised, unsupervised or reinforcement learning.
But unfortunately at the final i don’t selected as one of the participant and i’m very disappointed. So, I need to improve my background in industry and academics on deep learning and data sciences.
