Workshop on Statistical Deep Learning

When: 24-25 October 2022

Where: Sydney Business School Level 10, 1 Macquarie Place, Sydney

About: This workshop aims to bring together researchers in the region that are interested in topics at the interface of deep learning and statistics. It will be based around a set of talks, and there will be time for discussion and networking between the talks. The workshop, which is an in-person event, is 1.5 days long, and will finish at noon on the 25th October. Refreshments and lunch on the 24th October are provided. Space is limited; please let us know at azm@uow.edu.au if you register, plans change, and you need to cancel registration.

Registration: The workshop is now very close to, or at, capacity, so the registration page has been closed. If you’d still like to attend, please send me an e-mail directly (azm@uow.edu.au) to check availability. (The workshop is free of charge).
