The DeepLearn Series of International Schools (e.g., DeepLearn 2025, DeepLearn 2026) are high-level research training events designed for PhD students, postdocs, and industry practitioners looking to update their knowledge on the latest advancements in deep learning. Key details about the DeepLearn school include: Focus: The school covers a wide spectrum of cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research and industrial applications, including topics like computer vision, NLP, robotics, and, specifically for 2025/2026, Large Language Models (LLMs), foundation models, and generative AI. Structure: It features a mix of keynote lectures and 4.5-hour intensive courses taught by renowned academics and industry leaders. Networking and Experience: The event emphasizes face-to-face interaction, featuring social events, a hackathon, and opportunities for participants to present their own work-in-progress. Audience & Prerequisites: While aimed at researchers and PhD candidates, there are typically no formal academic prerequisites, making it accessible to anyone with a foundational understanding of AI. Format: The school is generally held in European cities (e.g., Porto 2025, Orléans 2026) and offers both in-person and full live online participation.
In 2022 I was invited to write the introductory chapter in Springer-Nature's Reference book: Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, edited by Niklas Lidströmer and Hutan Ashrafian. Read the chapter here: ter Haar Romeny, Bart M. "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence in Medicine." Artificial Intelligence in Medicine. Cham: Springer International Publishing ©, 2021. 1-23. DOI: 10.1007/978-3-030-64573-1_27 It was a pleasure to collaborate with dr. Niklas Lidströmer. The editors have collected a very broad coverage of medical, ethical and technical AI fields in Medicine. The book is 1858 pages.
