Call for Papers

The 2025 edition of the Northern Lights Deep Learning Conference (NLDL) will take place on 7-9 January 2025 in Tromsø, Norway, organized by Visual Intelligence and the UiT Machine Learning Group.

We look forward to gathering the deep learning community again in the cool arctic air for a physical conference.

In addition, the NLDL winter school, which is a part of the NORA research school http://nora.ai, starts on Jan 6, ends on Jan 10, and incorporates events during the main conference days. The winter school includes scientific topics, an industry event, women in AI event, and transferable skills. More information is coming soon at http://www.nldl.org/winter-school.
