FRAMEWORK:
DeepLearn 2023 Summer is part of a multi-event called Deep&Big 2023 consisting also of BigDat 2023 Summer. DeepLearn 2023 Summer participants will have the opportunity to attend lectures in the program of BigDat 2023 Summer as well if they are interested.
SCOPE:
DeepLearn 2023 Summer will be a research training event with a global scope aiming at updating participants on the most recent advances in the critical and fast developing area of deep learning. Previous events were held in Bilbao, Genova, Warsaw, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Guimarães, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Luleå, Bournemouth and Bari.
Deep learning is a branch of artificial intelligence covering a spectrum of current frontier research and industrial innovation that provides more efficient algorithms to deal with large-scale data in a huge variety of environments: computer vision, neurosciences, speech recognition, language processing, human-computer interaction, drug discovery, health informatics, medical image analysis, recommender systems, advertising, fraud detection, robotics, games, finance, biotechnology, physics experiments, biometrics, communications, climate sciences, geographic information systems, signal processing, genomics, etc. 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 16 four-hour and a half courses and 2 keynote lectures, which will tackle the most active and promising topics. The organizers are convinced that outstanding speakers will attract the brightest and most motivated students. Face to face interaction and networking will be main ingredients of the event. It will be also possible to fully participate in vivo remotely.
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 employment profiles.
ADDRESSED TO:
Graduate students, postgraduate students and industry practitioners will be typical profiles of participants. However, there are no formal pre-requisites for attendance in terms of academic degrees, so people less or more advanced in their career will be welcome as well. Since there will be a variety of levels, specific knowledge background may be assumed for some of the courses. Overall, DeepLearn 2023 Summer is addressed to students, researchers and practitioners who want to keep themselves updated about recent developments and future trends. All will surely find it fruitful to listen to and discuss with major researchers, industry leaders and innovators.
VENUE:
DeepLearn 2023 Summer will take place in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, on the Atlantic Ocean, with a mild climate throughout the year, sandy beaches and a renowned carnival. The venue will be:
Institución Ferial de Canarias
Avenida de la Feria, 1
35012 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
STRUCTURE:
2 courses will run in parallel during the whole event. Participants will be able to freely choose the courses they wish to attend as well as to move from one to another.
Also, if interested, participants will be able to attend courses developed in BigDat 2023 Summer, which will be held in parallel and at the same venue.
Full live online participation will be possible. The organizers highlight, however, the importance of face to face interaction and networking in this kind of research training event.

OVERVIEW
Adaptive and learning agents, particularly those interacting with each other in a multi-agent setting, are becoming increasingly prominent as the size and complexity of real-world systems grows. How to adaptively control, coordinate and optimize such systems is an emerging multi-disciplinary research area at the intersection of Computer Science, Control Theory, Economics, and Biology. The ALA workshop will focus on agents and multi-agent systems which employ learning or adaptation.
The goal of this workshop is to increase awareness of and interest in adaptive agent research, encourage collaboration and give a representative overview of current research in the area of adaptive and learning agents and multi-agent systems. It aims at bringing together not only scientists from different areas of computer science but also from different fields studying similar concepts (e.g., game theory, bio-inspired control, mechanism design).
All aspects of adaptive and learning agents and multi-agent systems are on topic for this workshop, but we will particularly encourage work that modifies established learning techniques and/or creates new learning paradigms to address the many challenges presented by complex real-world problems. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Novel combinations of reinforcement and supervised learning approaches
* Integrated learning approaches using reasoning modules like negotiation, trust, coordination, etc.
* Supervised and semi-supervised multi-agent learning
* Reinforcement learning in multi-agent systems
* Novel deep learning approaches for adaptive single and multi-agents systems
* Human-in-the-loop learning systems
* Planning and Reasoning (single and multi-agent)
* Distributed learning
* Adaptation and learning in dynamic environments
* Evolution and Co-evolution of agents in complex multi-agent environments
* Cooperative exploration
* Learning to cooperate and collaborate
* Learning trust and reputation
* Communication restrictions and their impact on multi-agent coordination
* Design of reward structure and fitness measures for coordination
* Scaling learning techniques to large systems of agents
* Emergent behavior in adaptive multi-agent systems
* Game theoretical analysis of adaptive multi-agent systems
* Neuro-control for adaptation in multi-agent systems
* Bio-inspired multi-agent systems
* Adaptive and learning agents for multi-objective decision making
* Multiple objectives in (multi-)agent systems
* Applications of adaptive and learning (multi-agent) systems to model real world complex systems
In addition to these topics, this year we are interested in exploring negative results that can serve as guidelines for early-stage researchers in the field of adaptive and learning single/multi-agent systems.
