The Northern Lights Deep Learning Conference, Tromsø, January 9th to 13th, was a great gathering of 250 deep learning researchers.
The conference brought together an international crowd of PhD students, academic researchers, and industry, for five days filled with keynotes, presentations, posters, diversity in AI event, industry event, panel discussions and social gatherings.
NLDL received a record number of submissions from 18 different countries yielding a strong scientific program and a high quality proceedings of articles.
New to NLDL this year was the PhD winter school which consisted of two days of tutorials by experts in the field, co-hosted by NORA as part of the NORA Research School. The winter school gathered 150 PhD students and young researchers. The tutorials were:
NLDL featured prominent keynote speakers within deep learning research giving exciting talks:
We are extremely proud to gather our international, Nordic, and national colleagues for a whole week of scientific interactions and chasing of the Northern Lights. NLDL is organized by the Visual Intelligence research centre and the UiT Machine Learning Group, and we are truly grateful to all our co-workers for taking part in the local organization. NLDL wouldn’t be possible without all the fantastic reviewers, and of course all the participants. Thank you!
Says the organizers Michael Kampffmeyer, Robert Jenssen and Sigurd Eivindson Løkse.
Next years conference is already under planning and will be hosted January 8th– 12th 2024.
