Although, Madeira is part of Europe it is approximately 1,000 km from the continent while being only 520 km from the coast of Africa. It is about an hour and a half flight from the capital of Portugal, Lisbon. Funchal, the picturesque capital of Madeira, is situated on the south coast of the island and one of Atlantic Oceans most popular cruise ship ports. Madeira is a scenic island with many unique destinations such as the Laurisilva forest, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
ANT-2017 will be held in conjunction with the 7th International Conference on Sustainable Energy Information Technology (SEIT, http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/seit-17/).

Rovira i Virgili University
http://grammars.grlmc.com/DeepLearn2017/
************************************************************
SCOPE:
DeepLearn 2017 will be a research training event with a global scope aiming at updating participants about the most recent advances in the critical and fast developing area of deep learning. This is a branch of artificial intelligence covering a spectrum of current exciting machine learning research and industrial innovation that provides more efficient algorithms to deal with large-scale data in neuroscience, computer vision, speech recognition, language processing, drug discovery, biomedical informatics, recommender systems, learning theory, robotics, games, etc. Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share their views with the audience.
Most deep learning subareas will be displayed, and main challenges identified through 4 keynote lectures, 24 six-hour courses, and 1 round table, which will tackle the most active and promising topics. The organizers are convinced that outstanding speakers will attract the brightest and most motivated students. Interaction will be a main component of the event. An open session will give participants the opportunity to present their own work in progress in 5 minutes.
ADDRESSED TO:
In principle, graduate students, doctoral students and postdocs from around the world will be typical profiles of participants. However, there are no formal pre-requisites for attendance in terms of academic degrees. Since there will be a variety of levels, specific knowledge background may be assumed for some of the courses. DeepLearn 2017 is also appropriate for more senior people who want to keep themselves updated on recent developments and future trends. All will surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss with major researchers, industry leaders and innovators.
REGIME:
In addition to keynotes, 3 courses will run in parallel during the whole event. Participants will be able to freely choose the courses they wish to attend as well as to move from one to another.
VENUE:
DeepLearn 2017 will take place in Bilbao, the largest city in the Basque Country, famous for its gastronomy and the seat of the Guggenheim Museum. The venue will be:

In this workshop, we aim to attract researchers from all over the world
working on Machine Learning and AI models for social media data analytics
and predictive insights. Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and
LinkedIn have paved the way for generating huge amount of diverse data in a
short period of time. Such social media data require the application of big
data analytics to produce meaningful information to both information
consumers and data generators. Machine learning and AI techniques are
particularly effective in situations where deep and predictive insights
need to be uncovered from such social media data sets that are large,
diverse and fast changing. We aim to focus on machine learning and AI
driven data analytics and predictive modeling on social media and the web.
We invite researchers that are interested in going beyond standard
analytics approaches and discovering the knowledge/insights hidden in the
large and fast-changing social media data.
In this context, we would also like to invite researchers in the machine
learning, AI, natural language processing, data and web mining community to
lend their expertise to help to increase our understanding of the web and
social media. We are interested in receiving papers related to the
following topics which include but are not limited to:
* AI, machine learning and natural language processing for social media,
big data and the web
* Learning analytics methods or frameworks for social media, big data and
the web
* Learning activities, applications and interventions
* Approaches for social influence learning
* Learning methods for social link prediction
* Methods for learning social activities and behavioral analytic metrics
* Approaches and algorithms for efficient learning
* Evaluation of learning analytics frameworks and metrics
* Applications of any of the above methods and technologies
The goal of this workshop is to study the application of machine learning
and AI approaches and algorithms to social media, big data and the web.
Submissions: We solicit full research papers (4-6 pages), and short
papers (1-4 pages) both in the ACM conference paper style.
Papers should be submitted in EasyChair to

Proceedings:
============
Contributions will be included in the Companion volume of the ACM
WWW2017 conference, which will be published by ACM and included
in the ACM Digital Library. However, to make that happen at least one
author of the accepted paper has to register. At the time of submission of
the final
camera-ready copy, authors will have to indicate the already
registered person for that publication.
Any paper published by the ACM, IEEE, etc. which can be properly
cited constitutes research which must be considered in judging the
novelty of a WWW submission, whether the published paper was in a
conference, journal, or workshop. Therefore, any paper previously
published as part of a WWW workshop must be referenced and suitably
extended with new content to qualify as a new submission to the
Research Track at the WWW conference.
Submission guidelines:
======================
All submitted papers must
* be written in English;
* contain author names, affiliations, and email addresses;
* be formatted according to the ACM SIG Proceedings template
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates)
with a font size no smaller than 9pt;
* be in PDF (make sure that the PDF can be viewed on any
platform), and formatted for US Letter size;
* occupy no more than six pages, including the abstract,
references, and appendices.
It is the authors’ responsibility to ensure that their submissions
adhere strictly to the required format.
Submissions that do not comply with the above guidelines may be
rejected without review.
All submissions must be entered into the reviewing system:

infrastructure networks are all welcome, especially in the domains of
energy and transportation. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
- Authentication and access control for CPS
- Autonomous vehicle security
- Availability, recovery and auditing for CPS
- Data security and privacy for CPS
- Embedded systems security
- EV charging system security
- Industrial control system security

Submission Instructions
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with proceedings. All submissions should be appropriately
anonymized (i.e., papers should not contain author names or
affiliations, or obvious citations). Submissions must be in
double‐column ACM SIG Proceedings format, and should not exceed 12
pages. Position papers and short papers of 6 pages describing the work
in progress are also welcome. Only pdf files will be accepted. Authors
of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at
the workshop. At least one author of the paper must be registered at the
