Previous events were held in Bilbao, Genova and Warsaw. Deep learning is a branch of artificial intelligence covering a spectrum of current exciting research and industrial innovation that provides more efficient algorithms to deal with large-scale data in neurosciences, computer vision, speech recognition, language processing, human-computer interaction, drug discovery, biomedical informatics, healthcare, recommender systems, learning theory, robotics, games, etc. Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share their views with the audience. Most deep learning subareas will be displayed, and main challenges identified through 20 four-hour and a half courses, which will tackle the most active and promising topics. The organizers are convinced that outstanding speakers will attract the brightest and most motivated students. Interaction will be a main component of the event. An open session will give participants the opportunity to present their own work in progress in 5 minutes. Moreover, there will be two special sessions with industrial and recruitment profiles. ADDRESSED TO: Master's students, PhD students, postdocs, and industry practitioners will be typical profiles of participants. However, there are no formal pre-requisites for attendance in terms of academic degrees. Since there will be a variety of levels, specific knowledge background may be assumed for some of the courses.

[Apologies for multiple postings.] ====================================================================== Various Research Assistants/Associates in the post-graduate program UnRAVeL “Uncertainty and Randomness in Algorithms, Verification and Logic” at RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany ====================================================================== Context. The RWTH Aachen University is looking for enthusiastic and highly qualified doctoral researchers. Various positions are available within the interdisciplinary Research Training Group (RTG) UnRAVeL founded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). The key emphasis of an RTG is on the qualification of doctoral researchers with a focused research program and a structured training strategy. The RTG UnRAVeL aims to significantly advance probabilistic modelling and analysis for uncertainty by developing new theories, algorithms, and tool-supported verification techniques, and to apply them to core problems from security (e.g., probabilistic protocols), planning (robotics and railway engineering), and safety and performance analysis (railway systems). To tackle these research challenges, theoretical computer scientists from computer-aided verification, logic and games, algorithms and complexity, together with experts from management science (robust optimization), applied computer science (robotics and security), and railway engineering intensively cooperate within the RTG UnRAVeL. Required profile. Candidates must have (or soon obtain) a master degree in Computer Science, Mathematics or related area and have completed their studies with excellent grades. You should have interest in performing original, highly competitive scientific research, publishing your results in top conferences and scientific journals. Self-motivation and the ability to work both independently and as a team player in local and international research groups are expected. Fluency in English is required; proficiency in German is helpful but not compulsory. How to apply? Your written application should contain: - a curriculum vitae - a transcript of records (list of courses and grades) - a cover letter including a statement of interest in (some of) the RTG topics (Algorithms and Complexity, Verification, Logic, or Application Scenarios) that can be found on our web-site, and - a recommendation letter e.g., by your master thesis supervisor(s). All documents should be formatted as a single pdf-file. You should send your application ultimately by ** March 31, 2020 (AoE) ** to the e-mail address: unravel-appl(a)cs.rwth-aachen.de What do we offer? We offer a stimulating international research environment, the possibility to participate in highly competitive and interdisciplinary research and the opportunity to involve students in your research through project work. Doctoral researchers have a status as employee with a salary according to the German federal employee scale TV-L E13; the exact salary is subject to your family situation. The duration of the positions is three years. RWTH Aachen University offers excellent facilities for professional and personal development. Starting date of the positions: between October 1, 2020 and January 1, 2021. More information about the RTG UnRAVeL can be found at: unravel.rwth-aachen.de Enquiries can be directed to Prof. Joost-Pieter Katoen (e-mail: katoen(a)cs.rwth-aachen.de). RWTH Aachen University is certified as a “Family-Friendly University”.

AlCoB 2020: call for posters*To be removed from our mailing list, please respond to this message with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 7th International Conference on Algorithms for Computational Biology (AlCoB 2020) invites researchers to submit poster presentations. AlCoB 2020 will be held in Missoula, Montana on April 13-15, 2020. See: https://alcob2020.irdta.eu/ Poster presentations are intended to enhance informal interactions with conference participants, at the same time allowing for in-depth discussion. TOPICS Presentations displaying novel work in progress on algorithms in computational biology are encouraged on the following topics: - assembling sequence reads into a complete genome, - identifying gene structures in the genome, - recognizing regulatory motifs, - aligning nucleotides and comparing genomes, - reconstructing regulatory networks of genes, and - inferring the evolutionary phylogeny of species. Posters do not need to show final research results. Work that might lead to new interesting developments is welcome. KEY DATES Poster submission deadline: March 6, 2020 Notification of poster acceptance or rejection: March 13, 2020 SUBMISSION Please upload a .pdf submission to: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=alcob2020 It should contain the title, author(s) and affiliation, and should not exceed 500 words. PRESENTATION Posters will be allocated 10 minutes each in the programme for oral presentation. Moreover, they will remain hanging out during the whole conference for discussion. PUBLICATION Posters will not appear in the LNCS/LNBI proceedings volume of AlCoB 2020. However, they will be eligible for submission to the post-conference journal special issue. REGISTRATION At least one author of each accepted poster must register to the conference by March 20, 2020. The registration fare is reduced: 285 Euros. It gives the same rights all other conference participants will have (attendance, copy of the proceedings volume, coffee breaks, lunches). Contributors of regular papers who in addition get a poster accepted must register for the latter independently.
