##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.

Theano is not only a powerful tool to build and run deep and shallow neural networks, it is also a wonderful learning resource. Since it works primarily on symbolic mathematical expressions, it can help us understand how learning in neural networks can be interpreted in terms of equations, vectors, variables and Python functions.
In this tutorial, participants will get a (very) brief background on the mathematics of neural networks and how to use theano to convert this knowledge into a Python program that can train and use a neural network.
Broadly the topics covered will be as follows:
The workshop will proceed with four different Jupyter notebooks, each of them highlighting and providing exercises on different aspects of neural networks. The details can be found here:
