About

The concept of deep learning (DL) has been known in the neural network community for well over a decade already. With the onset of more affordable powerful computing facilities, especially the prevalence of graphical processing units (GPUs) and tensor processing units (TPUs), 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. More recently, the techniques in DL/AI are leveraged for the current COVID-19 pandemic, including in the rapid vaccine development processes. 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 continues to be one of the fastest growing fields of AI research. Current researches include deployment for COVID-19; however, there are more and more emphasis on the explainable and ethical AI aspects as well now. Our panel sessions will focus on the above issues.

The APNNS/IEEE-CIS Education Forum series on Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence Summer School 2020 (DLAI5) is catered to all interested students, engineers, researchers, executives and administrators who may have some basic knowledge of machine learning and AI. The aim is to provide a forum for interested delegates to learn about certain basics as well as advances in the field of deep learning and artificial intelligence. DLAI5 would also provide an opportunity for interactions and networking. With the successful inaugural DLAI back on Feb 1-4, 2018, the second edition on Dec 10-13, 2018, the third edition on June 29 to July 3, and the latest DLAI4 on November 18-22, 2020, we are pleased to be able to offer the 5th DLAI at this time. The venue is online due to the ongoing pandemic and it will be held from May 6-10, 2021. DLAI5 will feature Keynote and Invited Speakers from IEEE Distinguished Lecturers, ACM Distinguished Speakers, and other notable speakers. In addition to Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) speakers, DLAI5 is proud to introduce the Forum for Young Investigators (FYI) as there will be prominent young researchers sharing their experiences with us.

As DLAI5 is a virtual event, it is offered free-of-charge to all registrants. All participants need to register online first. As there may be limited seating available as an online event, priorities will be given to APNNS Members, IEEE-CIS Members, IEEE Members, ACM Members, and INNS Members.

The DLAI5 Summer School will cover many aspects of deep learning with several talks by world renowned researchers in form of lectures/tutorials/workshops and panel sessions which will cover some of the most active current topics in DL and AI and their applications. There are two NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute (DLI) certification workshops, and a hackathon will also be offered to provide a hands-on challenge for the participants.

DLAI5 is organized by the Innovative Cognitive Computing (IC2) Research Center at School of Information Technology (SIT), King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) and co-organized by APNNS, IEEE-CIS Thailand Chapter, Joint Chapter of IEEE CIS/RAS Western Australia Chapter, IEEE-SMC Western Australia Chapter, IEEE-CIS Indonesia Chapter, and various partner institutions, with the latest being the Technology Innovation Hub at Indian Statistical Institue (TIH@ISI) and Jadavpur University, India.
