本周，素有深度学习届顶会“无冕之王”之称的ICLR 2018第6届在加拿大温哥华举办，会议的重点是如何学习有意义的有用的机器学习数据表示。 ICLR包括会议和workshop，以及关于深度学习，度量学习，核学习，组合模型，非线性结构预测以及有关非凸优化的一些最新研究的演讲和海报展示。谷歌、DeepMind等大厂这几天陆续公布了今年的论文，全是干货。

作为神经网络和深度学习顶尖技术创新的领先者，Google专注于理论和应用。作为ICLR 2018的白金赞助商，Google将有超过130名研究人员参加会议，分享论文，参与workshop。

ICLR 2018为期4天，5月3日结束。与往年一样，本次大会每天分上午下午两场。每场形式基本一样，先是邀请演讲（invited talk），然后是讨论，也就是被选为能够进行口头（Oral）的论文、茶歇、海报展示（poster）。

如果您正在参加ICLR 2018，我们希望您能够通过我们的展位停下来，与我们的研究人员聊聊Google为数十亿人解决问题的项目和机会。您还可以在下面的列表中了解更多关于我们在ICLR 2018上展示的研究成果（Google员工加粗显示）
