Second Deep Learning Symposium at the 30th Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS 2016)
December 8, 2016, Barcelona, Spain https://sites.google.com/site/nips2016deeplearnings/ Program Committee recommendation deadline: Friday, August 26, 2016 OVERVIEW Deep learning algorithms attempt to discover good representations at multiple levels of abstraction. This research area has seen an explosion of progress over the past several years, with significant algorithmic advances as well as applications to areas as diverse as vision, speech processing, language understanding, robotics, game playing, neuroscience, and health. Major machine learning and AI conferences often dedicate several sessions to deep learning, attesting to the widespread interest in this area of research. The rapid (and perhaps bewildering) rate of progress also opens up new research challenges. This symposium aims to bring together researchers in deep learning and related areas to discuss the new advances and challenges and to brainstorm about new solutions and directions. FORMAT A selected group of leading experts in the field -- the Program Committee (PC) members (see the list at https://sites.google.com/site/nips2016deeplearnings/pc-members ) -- will recommend papers to present at the event. There is no usual submission/review process, but PCs members will make their recommendations based on papers they have recently read. In order to let the broader research community and authors contribute with links to paper URLs and comments to papers, we will use OpenReview (http://beta.openreview.net/). The PCs recommendation deadline is: Friday, August 26, 2016 (although the recommendation website will remain open for comments and contributions even after this date to benefit the PCs in their subsequent discussion to determine the final presenter list, and even after the Symposium date for the benefit of the whole community).
