Connectionists: First Deep Learning Symposium at NIPS 2015

[Marc'Aurelio Ranzato]

First Deep Learning Symposium at the 29th Annual Conference on Neural

Information Processing Systems (NIPS 2015)

December 10, 2015, Montreal, Canada

Program Committee nomination deadline: Friday, August 28, 2015


Overview

Deep Learning algorithms attempt to discover good representations, at multiple levels of abstraction. Deep Learning is a topic of broad interest, both to researchers who develop new algorithms and theories, as well as to the rapidly growing number of practitioners who apply these algorithms to a wider range of applications, from vision and speech processing, to natural language understanding, neuroscience, health, etc.


There has been very rapid and impressive progress in this area in recent years, in terms of both algorithms and applications, but many challenges remain.  This symposium aims at bringing together researchers in Deep Learning and related areas to discuss the new advances, the challenges we face, 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/nips2015deeplearnings/home/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 have set up a recommendation website at https://recommend-papers.org .

The PCs recommendation deadline is: Friday, August 28, 2015 (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).
