Dear Deep Learning, Computer Vision and Autonomous Systems engineers,
scientists, and enthusiasts,

 

you are welcomed to register to the 2023 Summer School on Deep Learning and
Computer Vision:

 
<https://icarus.csd.auth.gr/aiia-cvml-summer-school-on-deep-learning-and-com
puter-vision-2023/>
https://icarus.csd.auth.gr/aiia-cvml-summer-school-on-deep-learning-and-comp
uter-vision-2023/

It will take place on the 28th August - 1st September 2023 and will be
hosted by the Artificial Intelligence and Information Analysis (AIIA) Lab,
Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), Thessaloniki, Greece. 

 

The summer school consists of two short courses:

a) 'Short Course on Deep Learning and Computer Vision 2023', 28th - 29th
August 2023:

ion-2023/>
https://icarus.csd.auth.gr/cvml-short-course-deep-learning-and-computer-visi
on-2023/   

with various Computer Vision and Deep Learning applications, e.g., for big
visual data analysis, autonomous vehicles (drones, cars and marine vessels),
digital media analysis, intelligent human-machine interaction,
anthropocentric (human-centered) computing, industrial surveillance, smart
cities/buildings and assisted living, natural disaster management and

b) 'Programming short course and workshop on Deep Learning and Computer
Vision 2023', 30th August - 1st September 2023:

ep-learning-and-computer-vision-2023/>
https://icarus.csd.auth.gr/cvml-programming-short-course-and-workshop-on-dee
p-learning-and-computer-vision-2023/

with applications in autonomous systems vision/perception and visual
data/social media analysis for natural disaster management.

 

You can follow the above-mentioned links to register to either one or both
courses.

For questions, please contact: Ioanna Koroni <

The first course consists of 16 lectures providing an in-depth presentation
of many computer vision and deep learning problems algorithms, as applied
e.g., in big visual data analysis, autonomous vehicle vision, digital media
analysis and human centered computing.

The second programming short course and workshop offers a mix of lectures
and programming workshops (hands-on lab exercises). It aims at developing
registrants' programming skills for Deep Learning and Computer Vision, with
focus on digital/social media analysis for Autonomous Systems and also on
Natural Disaster Management.

For both courses, the acquired skills can be used in a multitude of other
applications that involve vision and/or natural language processing tasks. 

Both short courses are organized by Prof. I. Pitas, IEEE and EURASIP fellow,
He is chair of the International AI Doctoral Academy (AIDA), AUTH prime
investigation for H2020 projects AerialCore and AI4Media, and Director of
the Artificial Intelligence and Information analysis Lab (AIIA Lab),
Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. He was Chair of the IEEE SPS
Autonomous Systems Initiative and Coordinator of the European Horizon2020
R&D project Multidrone. He is ranked 319th in Computer Science and
Electronics Scientists internationally by  <http://research.com>
research.com (2022).

Aristotle University of Thessaloniki is the biggest University in Greece and
in SE Europe. It is highly ranked internationally. Thessaloniki is a very
pleasant and popular summer destination in Greece.
