APNNS Advanced Forum Series: Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence Winter School 2018

1 - 4 Feb 2018, KMUTT, Bangkok, Thailand

About


The concept of deep learning (DL) has been known in the neural network community for many years already. With the onset of more powerful computing facilities, especially the prevalence of graphical processing units (GPUs), DL has been applied successfully and effectively in many state-of-the-art applications including computer vision, speech recognition, object detection, drug discovery, and so on. DL basically uses deep neural network architecture with multiple layers to represent data with increasing abstraction and may be applied to supervised, unsupervised, as well as reinforcement learning. It is one of the fastest growing field of AI research.

The Asia Pacific Neural Network Society (APNNS) is a professional society that promotes active interactions among researchers, scientists, and industry professionals who are working in Neural Network and related fields in the Asia Pacific region. APNNS was formalized as a legal entity in 2014, having evolved from the previous Asia Pacific Neural Network Assemby (APNNA) that was established back in 1993 in Nagoya, Japan, under the leadership of Professor Shun-Ichi Amari. More information about APNNS may be obtained at the Society website - www.apnns.org.

The APNNS Advanced Forum Series on Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence (DLAI) Winter School is catered to all interested students, engineers, and researchers who may have some basic knowledge of machine learning and AI.

Due to the overwhelming response of registrants, the venue has been moved to the main campus of King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT), from the KX Building. The dates remains on February 1-4, 2018. The Joint Symposium on Computational Intelligence (JSCI), organized by the IEEE-CIS Thailand Chapter will be collocated with DLAI.

The DLAI Winter School will cover many aspects of deep learning with several talks by world renowned researchers in form of lectures/tutorials/workshops and 2 panel sessions which will cover many of the active current topics in DL and AI. In addition, there is an Industry Session by IBM on Workshop on AI, as well as an Industry Hackathon Session by Krung Thai Bank (KTB).
