So there is the BASP2015 meeting in Switzerland while at the same time, there is the Workshop on Big Data and Statistical Machine Learning in Canada, which really means that if there were a live video feed in Switzerland we could have an always-on interesting view of what's going on in both of these conferences (jet lag helping). The Workshop on Big Data and Statistical Machine Learning, is going to be streamed live however from Monday through Friday. Thanks to the organizer, Ruslan Salakhutdinov, here is the program:
The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers working on various large-scale deep learning as well as hierarchical models to discuss a number of important challenges, including the ability to perform transfer learning as well as the best strategies to learn these systems on large scale problems. These problems are "large" in terms of input dimensionality (in the order of millions), number of training samples (in the order of 100 millions or more) and number of categories (in the order of several tens of thousands).
