##About the conference and topics for submitting talks:
In 2016, The Fifth Elephant branched into a separate conference on Deep Learning. The Deep Learning Conference has grown in to a large community under the brand Anthill Inside.
Anthill Inside features talks, panels and Off The Record (OTR) sessions on current research, technologies and developments around Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning. Submit proposals for talks and workshops on the following topics:
##Perks for submitting proposals:
Submitting a proposal, especially with our process, is hard work. We appreciate your effort.
We offer one conference ticket at discounted price to each proposer, and a t-shirt.
We only accept one speaker per talk. This is non-negotiable. Workshops may have more than one instructor.
In case of proposals where more than one person has been mentioned as collaborator, we offer the discounted ticket and t-shirt only to the person with who the editorial team corresponded directly during the evaluation process.
##Target audience:
We invite beginner and advanced participants from:
to participate in Anthill Inside. At the 2018 edition, tracks will be curated separately for beginner and advanced audiences.
Developer evangelists from organizations which want developers to use their APIs and technologies for deep learning and AI should participate, speak and/or sponsor Anthill Inside.
##Format:
Anthill Inside is a two-day conference with two tracks on each day. Track details will be announced with a draft schedule in February 2018.
We are accepting sessions with the following formats:
##Selection criteria:
The first filter for a proposal is whether the technology or solution you are referring to is open source or not. The following criteria apply for closed source talks:
The criteria for selecting proposals, in the order of importance, are:
No one submits the perfect proposal in the first instance. We therefore encourage you to:
Our editorial team helps potential speakers in honing their speaking skills, fine tuning and rehearsing content at least twice - before the main conference - and sharpening the focus of talks.
##How to submit a proposal (and increase your chances of getting selected):
The following guidelines will help you in submitting a proposal:
To summarize, we do not accept talks that gloss over details or try to deliver high-level knowledge without covering depth. Talks have to be backed with real insights and experiences for the content to be useful to participants.
##Passes and honorarium for speakers:
We pay an honararium of Rs. 3,000 to each speaker and workshop instructor at the end of their talk/workshop. Confirmed speakers and instructors also get a pass to the conference and networking dinner. We do not provide free passes for speakers’ colleagues and spouses.
##Travel grants for outstation speakers:
Travel grants are available for international and domestic speakers. We evaluate each case on its merits, giving preference to women, people of non-binary gender, and Africans. If you require a grant, request it when you submit your proposal in the field where you add your location. Anthill Inside is funded through ticket purchases and sponsorships; travel grant budgets vary.
##Last date for submitting proposals is: 15 April 2018.
You must submit the following details along with your proposal, or within 10 days of submission:

Recommending product sizes to customers is an important problem in the e-commerce domain. Though e-commerce is becoming increasingly popular, products such as apparel and shoes remain challenging to buy online and record high return rates. A key customer pain point that leads to excessive product returns is the size-fit problem. This talk (based on the linked WWW 2018 paper) describes some recent machine learning models that were built for product size recommendation.
I this talk, I would like to give a brief overview of the size recommendation problem in the domain of fashion e-commerce, discuss possible approaches and machine learning models to address this problem.
Outline:
What is the size reecommendation problem
What are the challenges recommending size online
Possible approaches / Size recommendation ML models
Experimental results
Conclusions
Note that the speaker is not currently with Amazon - though the talk is based on recent work by the speaker publilshed in WWW 2018 while at Amazon.
