IIT Indore is organizing a 5 days IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (CIS) Summer School on "Deep Learning and Computational Intelligence: Theory and Applications" during December 12-16, 2022. Details of the IEEE CIS Summer School are available at

http://events.iiti.ac.in/ieee-cis-summer-school-2022/

The objective of this summer school is to provide a unique platform for young researchers, professionals, and students from all around the world in the recent developments and applicability of deep learning (DL) with computational intelligence (CI). The school will bring people working in CI and DL domains to a common platform for generating innovative ideas. The school will also assess the state of the art on what new directions lie open for research in the areas of CI and DL. In this way, the school will generate exciting new communication across various CI, DL and machine learning disciplines. This summer school features a number of distinguished speakers on DL and CI which will be helpful for researchers and participants.

I hereby request you to join IEEE CIS Summer School and give wide publicity among your colleagues/research scholars and PG students and encourage them to participate in this program and get benefited.

Kindly note the following important deadlines:

Early Bird Registration: November 02-25, 2022

Opening Ceremony: December 12, 2022

Closing Ceremony: December 16, 2022
