We are accepting applications from anyone interested to attend the Deep Learning Indaba X -Zambia, a step-down version of the main indaba to be held at the University of Zambia (UNZA) in Lusaka, Zambia on the 16th and 17th of April 2019. The Deep Learning Indaba is the annual meeting of the African machine learning community which started in 2017 in South Africa. The goal of the Indaba X is to promote the usage and involvement of young people in Machine Learning with the purpose of producing a cohort of youths who are technologically empowered and skilled to generate a livelihood that makes them self-reliant and able contribute towards national development.

The Indaba X will offer a practical/tutorial session in Python and TensorFlow to cover all the basic areas of Machine/Deep Learning for students and practitioners. To register for the indaba, use the following link: https://goo.gl/forms/VVexbjpdnld4SfLj2 We also invite submission for abstracts on the thematic areas. Our thematic areas include:

• Computer Vision
• Image Processing
• Natural Language Processing
• Deep Learning
• Big Data Analytics
• Machine Learning
• Optimization Methods
• Convolutional Neural Networks
• Recurrent Neural Networks
• Generative Models
• Recommender systems

Abstract should be emailed to the following email address: indabaxzambia@gmail.com

Note that posters that address methods and applications of deep learning in solving local problems in Zambia (Healthcare, Agriculture, Education, etc) will be given utmost priority. All accepted abstracts shall be presented on a professional poster. The best poster award will be presented to the best presenter with a full travel grant to the Main Deep Learning Indaba 2019 holding at Kenyatta University, Nairobi, Kenya on 25-31 August 2019.
