The ninth annual International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) is taking place May 3-7 online this year! We are proud to share that the work of our researchers are being included in the proceedings.
ICLR is the premier gathering of professionals dedicated to the advancement of the branch of AI called representation learning -- also known as deep learning -- as well as its application areas. Out of the nearly 3000 submissions, only 860 were accepted for presentation at the conference; and of those accepted, only 114 submissions were selected for Spotlight presentations.
Amii Fellows and Canada CIFAR AI Chairs – professors at the University of Alberta and the University of British Columbia – are included in the proceedings, as well as other Amii researchers and alums (* indicates Amii researcher or alum):
Fuzzy Tiling Activations: A Simple Approach to Learning Sparse Representations Online
PMI-Masking: Principled masking of correlated spans
