THE NEXT GENERATION OF AI LEADERS

Mark your calendars for the premier AI training and networking event of the year.

July 25-29, 2022 — virtual

DLRL.ca

Each year, the CIFAR Deep Learning + Reinforcement Learning (DLRL) Summer School brings together graduate students, post-docs and professionals to cover the foundational research, new developments, and real-world applications of deep learning and reinforcement learning. Trainees have the opportunity to train and network with world-class AI researchers. The program accepts 300 of the brightest minds from around the world.

With nearly two decades of incubating the best ideas in AI, this annual week-long intensive is produced jointly through the CIFAR Learning in Machines & Brains program and the CIFAR Pan-Canadian AI Strategy.

This year’s virtual event will be held virtually July 25-29, 2022 and hosted by CIFAR in partnership with Canada’s three national AI institutes: Amii in Edmonton, Mila in Montreal and the Vector Institute in Toronto.

Show Transcript
- Canada is a really attractive place
to pursue AI because it's a very supportive environment.
And we're also, as researchers,
very supportive of each other.
- [Samira] We have some of the biggest labs in the field
and that in general makes it so easy to start
and grow in this field.
- [Sarath] The entire deep learning revolution
actually happened in Canada and we were able to do this
because there was a constant support from the government
and CIFAR.
- [Martha] The great thing about the CIFAR
Pan-Canadian AI Strategy
is that it's focused on AI expertise.
The funding model in Canada largely focuses on funding
people rather than projects.
And this means that you're free to pursue the research
that you think is important.
- [Samira] I like how the AI community is connected
and works together and push the boundary of AI.
- [Graham] Well, it's really
a highly collaborative environment
that supports joint projects and provides resources
to researchers across the country.
