Deep learning is one of the engines of the current technological revolution around artificial intelligence. This has been implemented in almost all audiovisual fields, such as speech recognition by virtual assistants or photo file organizers. The trend has spread to the field of life sciences, with applications for the development of new drugs or support for medical diagnosis. For this reason, the symposium opens this 2021 a session with applications to genomics, nutrition, detection of COVID-19 from cough, or medical imaging.

The Deep Learning Barcelona Symposium has the aim to highlight the research developed in Barcelona, bringing together top-level researchers who are either currently developing their research in the city, or have pursued part of their academic career here. The symposium will host 32 talks and 41 posters from local research laboratories, universities abroad like Stanford, MIT or Columbia, and multinational companies like as Meta, Amazon, NVidia and ElementAI.

Among the speakers, it is worth mentioning the presence of some of our researchers such as Xixian Liao, Gemma Boleda, Adrian Galadran, Roberto Dessì and Miguel Àngel González Ballester. With our professor Coloma Ballester in the organizing committee of the event.   

The symposium is organized by various local institutions and companies in the field of artificial intelligence. It will take place on December 22nd and 23rd at the UPC Campus Nord, and registration is available for free from this page.
