**************************************************************************************************************
SCOPE:
AI-DLDA 2018 is an International Summer School for young researchers and Ph.D. students with the main scope aiming at updating participants about the most recent advances in the area of Artificial Intelligence, ranging from deep learning to data analytics. This school will give an in-depth analysis of the state-of-the-art research and will cover a large spectrum of current research activities and industrial applications deal with big data, computer vision, human-computer interaction, biomedical informatics, deep learning and serious games.
ADDRESSED TO:
Master's students, PhD students, researchers and industry practitioners will be typical profiles of participants. However, there are no formal pre-requisites for attendance in terms of academic degrees. The selected participants will benefit from direct interaction with world leaders in AI.
STRUCTURE:
The School will be organized in four teaching days with keynote lectures from both academia and industry (during the morning) and laboratory sessions (during the afternoon) and 1 round table. Invited industry will present their advanced applications in the field of AI. Last day is reserved to final exam for those who need credits and the poster session.
