##Theme and format
The Fifth Elephant 2017 is a four-track conference on:
The Fifth Elephant is a conference for practitioners, by practitioners.
Talk submissions are now closed.
You must submit the following details along with your proposal, or within 10 days of submission:
##About the conference
This year is the sixth edition of The Fifth Elephant. The conference is a renowned gathering of data scientists, programmers, analysts, researchers, and technologists working in the areas of data mining, analytics, machine learning and deep learning from different domains.
We invite proposals for the following sessions, with a clear focus on the big picture and insights that participants can apply in their work:
##Selection Process
We will notify you if we move your proposal to the next round or reject it. A speaker is NOT confirmed for a slot unless we explicitly mention so in an email or over any other medium of communication.
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.
There is only one speaker per session. Entry is free for selected speakers.
##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”.

Data is being used to solve some of the greatest challenges in medicine today. Advances in technology mean that scientists have access to data that was impossible to acquire just 5 years ago. Modeling and analysis are driving improved understanding about how our bodies work. This in turn is helping scientists find cures for deadly diseases. Curing diseases now requires combined efforts of data scientists, software developers, computational biologists and experimentalists.
Our talk will focus on the role of data in biology and medicine. We will walk through the process of discovering a new drug and how data is embedded at every step of this process.
Our aim is to introduce engineers & data scientists to a new domain and encourage them to contribute to the advancement of science and human health.
