The Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (Amii) has launched
applications for the 11th annual Deep Learning and Reinforcement
Learning Summer School, happening July 24 - August 2, 2019 at the
University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada.
Hosted in partnership with
CIFAR, the Summer School brings together graduate students,
post-doctoral fellows and industry professionals to explore the latest
AI techniques, build research networks and open collaborative
opportunities.
“We’re excited to be hosting this year’s Summer School
here in Edmonton and to welcome the future experts of our industry from
across the world,” says John Shillington, CEO of Amii. “It’s often a
surprise for people to learn that Edmonton is a hub for AI research and
home to some of the brightest minds in the field, so we’re thrilled to
be able to show the world all the things this unique research community
has to offer.”
Over the 10-day intensive program, participants will
learn directly from world-renowned AI researchers including Amii’s own
Richard Sutton and Martha White and other global leaders like Yoshua
Bengio of the University of Montreal. Programming also includes an AI
Career Fair and social events, meant to ignite conversations around the
major questions across multiple sectors...
The Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning Summer School takes
place July 24 - August 2, 2019 at the University of Alberta in Edmonton,
