## Call for papers

The city of Porto is famous for its Port wine and beautiful scenery, architecture and cultural events. Portugal has again been awarded the best European Tourist Destination by the World Travel Awards, the Oscars equivalent in the field of tourism. ##################################### Machine Learning (ML) is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) branch that is about teaching computers how to learn from data to make decisions or predictions. Deep Learning (DL) is part of a broader family of ML algorithms, that is based on artificial neural networks. Arguably, DL techniques demand for big amounts of data and, as such, they require huge computational resources and advanced processing techniques. Cloud Computing is a well-known alternative to deal with big amounts of data, since its elasticity allows for an efficient scalability of huge computational resources, such as, data storage and processing power. On the other hand, Quantum Computing is an advanced processing technique, that uses the fundamentals of quantum mechanics to accelerate the process of solving highly complex problems. SMBQ 2020 addresses the current trends in AI and in the computational techniques that deal with big data demands, together with, a powerful processing technique that will shape the future of computation. During 2 days, from 7-8 September 2020, we will introduce concepts, discuss the current trends and provide direct practical experience in hands-on lessons.

Prior to the event, information regarding the access of the live sessions will be sent to all registrants via email. The number of participants is limited, thus the registration process closes once the limit is reached. For any further information, please send a message to SMBQ2020. ##################################### Contact Persons: Carlos Ferreira, Polytechnic Institute of Porto, LIAAD - INESC TEC, E-mail: cgf@isep.ipp.pt Miguel Areias, University of Porto, CRACS - INESC TEC, E-mail: miguel-areias@dcc.fc.up.pt
