Join AI Pioneer Geoffrey Hinton in Toronto, and Learn from Global Leaders in Deep Learning
SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) June 07, 2018 -- Last year’s summit brought together the founding fathers of AI, Yoshua Bengio, Yann LeCun and Geoffrey Hinton in their first ever joint panel discussion, and due to popular demand the summit has expanded this year to include a secondary track; the AI for Government Summit. Attendees will have access to both events to maximise the diversity of the agenda and will also be invited to interactive workshops, panel discussions, mentoring sessions and many more activities.
"The Deep Learning Summit always attracts the right mix of top academics, researchers and business leaders. NEXT Canada is thrilled to attend and showcase the NextAI accelerator to the brightest minds in the country." - NEXT.AI, Sponsor
The Deep Learning Summit will cover the latest advancements in deep learning technology from global leaders in the field and explore how industry leaders and startups alike are applying such techniques across industry and society. The first ever AI for Government Summit will provide a unique opportunity to interact with Government Bodies, Policymakers, Strategists and Directors of Innovation to explore the use of machine learning to increase efficiency, reduce costs and meet the high demands of the public sector.
Confirmed speakers across both tracks include:
Geoffrey Hinton, Professor, University of Toronto
Brendon Frey, Co-Founder & CEO, Deep Genomics
Nina Berry, J6 S&T Advisor, Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Organization (JIDO)
Stanley Osher, Professor of Mathematics & Computer Science, UCLA
William Brendel, Senior Research Scientist, Snap Research

Canada is a hot-spot for Artificial Intelligence with the likes of Element AI, Uber AI Labs, and the Vector Institute coming out of the country, and to stay ahead of the race, the Canadian Government have committed over $125 million to AI developments. Alphabet will be starting in Toronto’s Smart City Project this summer with the ‘world’s first neighbourhood built from the internet-up’, and the Toronto Tourism Board are also supporting RE•WORK’s summit.
