Deep Learning Summer School and Reinforcement Learning Summer School
2017-06-26 - 2017-07-01
Deep neural networks that learn to represent data in multiple layers of increasing abstraction have dramatically improved the state-of-the-art for speech recognition, object recognition, object detection, predicting the activity of drug molecules, and many other tasks. Deep learning discovers intricate structure in large datasets by building distributed representations, either via supervised, unsupervised or reinforcement learning.
The Deep Learning Summer School (DLSS) is aimed at graduate students and industrial engineers and researchers who already have some basic knowledge of machine learning (and possibly but not necessarily of deep learning) and wish to learn more about this rapidly growing field of research.
This year’s edition of the DLSS is organized by Graham Taylor, Aaron Courville and Yoshua Bengio.

NIPS Conversational Intelligence Challenge Call for Human Evaluators
2017-07-24 08:00 - 2017-07-30 17:00
Join ConvAI Competition as a Human Evaluator to make next generation chatbots truly intelligent
Dialogue systems and conversational agents – including chatbots, personal assistants and voice control interfaces – are becoming increasingly widespread in our daily lives. Nevertheless, conversational intelligence remains one of the major unsolved tasks in artificial intelligence. This year, NIPS is sponsoring an open competition the Conversational Intelligence Challenge (http://convai.io) to create a chatbot that can hold an intelligent conversation with a human partner. Goals of the competition are evaluation of state-of-the-art dialogue systems, and collection of an open-source dataset for future training of end-to-end systems.
“Learning to communicate with humans is a crucial ability for intelligent agents. Among the primary forms of communication between humans is natural language dialogue. As such, building systems that can naturally and meaningfully converse with humans has been a central goal of artificial intelligence since the formulation of the Turing test,” say co-organizers in their recent paper on Automated Turing test.
Current breakthroughs of deep learning critically depend on quantity and quality of data used to train models. This is why every human evaluator volunteer is so valuable for the success of the competition. Please join us in our efforts to build an open dataset for the development of the next generation of conversational AI.
First round of evaluation will be done remotely on 24th-30th of July, 2017 via a messaging platform. During the week competition teams members and human-volunteers will chat with bots and evaluate the quality of the dialogue systems, submitted to the competition. Winning teams will be qualified for the NIPS finals. To contribute to the conversational intelligence research, fill the registration form at https://goo.gl/PWrZ0e now, and we will send you email at the beginning of the evaluation.
The competition is organised by Université de Montréal, McGill University, Carnegie Mellon University and Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in partnership with Facebook, Flint Capital, IVADO, Maluuba and Element AI.
IVADO is a proud Silver Sponsor of ConvAI!

Artificial Intelligence Innovation Summit
2017-09-18 - 2017-09-19
Artificial intelligence (AI) not only revolutionizes the future of life science and healthcare activity, it also translates previously unused clinical data. Through the evolution of technology, life science and healthcare organizations have acquired an unfathomable amount of data about patient populations, genomic profiles, molecular pathology and more in the digital space. Now, AI is able to take the data that has been acquired through applications, tests and platforms; sift through it; and provide actionable insights, if not intelligent decisions.
At the Artificial Intelligence Innovation Summit, our expert speaking faculty will provide insights into the implementation and execution of artificial intelligence platforms in life science and healthcare organizations, define regulatory boundaries and limitations, review the necessary metrics to measure the success and effectiveness of the AI system, and examine case studies of industry vertical use. ExL Events will provide not only forward-thinking conversations but also proven strategies to implement, execute and manage artificial intelligence in your life science organization.

1st Montreal Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience (MAIN)
2017-11-18 08:00 - 2017-11-21 18:00
Recent years have witnessed an upsurge in research that uses artificial intelligence tools to address a wide range of important questions in neuroscience. In particular, supervised and non-supervised machine learning techniques are increasingly employed in all areas of neuroscience including systems, computational, cognitive and clinical neuroscience research. Nevertheless, the future impact and pace of this exciting research trend will critically depend on improving the synergy between the Neuroscience and AI research communities. This is precisely the goal of this international workshop, which is aimed on one side toward neuroscientists with a keen interest in machine learning and, on the other side, experts in data science with a keen interest in neuroscience. The four-day meeting will be a unique opportunity to attend introductory tutorial and training sessions for participants new to this inter-disciplinary field, and to hear about cutting-edge research from world-leading scientists in data and brain sciences.
You will find more information about the invited speakers, the full program, registration and practical details via the sections at the top of this page. And make sure you check out the call for posters via the link on the right side of this page!
We look forward to welcoming you to the first Montreal Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience (MAIN 2017) conference!
The members of the organizing committee and the CRM staff would like to thank our external sponsors for their generous support.
