##About AnthillInside:
In 2016, The Fifth Elephant branched into a separate conference on Deep Learning. Anthill Inside is the new avataar of the Deep Learning conference.
Anthill Inside attempts to bridge the gap bringing theoretical advances closer to functioning reality.
Proposals are invited for full length talks, crisp talks and poster/demo sessions in the area of ML+DL. The talks need to focus on the techniques used, and may be presented independent of the domain wherein they are applied.
We also invite talks on novel applications of ML+DL, and methods of realising the same in hardware/software.
Case studies of how DL and ML have been applied in different domains will continue to be discussed at The Fifth Elephant.

##Format:
Anthill Inside is a two-track conference:
We are inviting proposals for:
You must submit the following details along with your proposal, or within 10 days of submission:
##Selection Process:
We expect you to submit an outline of your proposed talk, either in the form of a mind map or a text document or draft slides within two weeks of submitting your proposal to start evaluating your proposal.
You can check back on this page for the status of your proposal. We will notify you if we either move your proposal to the next round or if we reject it. Selected speakers must participate in one or two rounds of rehearsals before the conference. This is mandatory and helps you to prepare well for the conference.
A speaker is NOT confirmed a slot unless we explicitly mention so in an email or over any other medium of communication.
There is only one speaker per session. Entry is free for selected speakers.
We might contact you to ask if you’d like to repost your content on the official conference blog.
##Travel Grants:
Partial or full grants, covering travel and accomodation are made available to speakers delivering full sessions (40 minutes) and workshops. Grants are limited, and are given in the order of preference to students, women, persons of non-binary genders, and speakers from Asia and Africa.
##Commitment to Open Source:
We believe in open source as the binding force of our community. If you are describing a codebase for developers to work with, we’d like for it to be available under a permissive open source licence. If your software is commercially licensed or available under a combination of commercial and restrictive open source licences (such as the various forms of the GPL), you should consider picking up a sponsorship. We recognise that there are valid reasons for commercial licensing, but ask that you support the conference in return for giving you an audience. Your session will be marked on the schedule as a “sponsored session”.
##Important Dates:
##Contact:
For more information about speaking proposals, tickets and sponsorships, contact info@hasgeek.com or call +91-7676332020.
Please note, we will not evaluate proposals that do not have a slide deck and a video in them.

Deep Learning though termed so but as the network becomes deeper the neural networks are more difficult to train and their preformance also start to degrade. Residual learning framework(ResNet and Highway Networks) is an Newer kind of architecture which ease the training of networks that are substantially deeper than those used previously, helps overcome the degradation problem and lets the network decide how deep it needs to be and also give significant boost to the performance of task in hand. The layers are reformulated as learning residual functions with reference to the layer inputs, instead of learning unreferenced functions. The Architecture won the 2015 ImageNet Challenge along with ImageNet detection, ImageNet localization, COCO detection, and COCO segmentation.
Participants will need a laptop with VirtualBox installed (if not running directly on your platform), with the following libraries installed:
Tensorflow or Theano
Numpy and Scipy stack
Keras
OpenCV
Participants should have understanding of basic deep learning architecture, introductory calculus and some hands on experience on using Keras or Tensorflow or any other deep learning library.
