The Deep Learning Barcelona Symposium (DLBCN) aims at showcasing research on deep learning carried out by scientists in/from Barcelona (that is, scientists who currently work in Barcelona or who pursued part of their studies or career in Barcelona). This unique meeting gathers researchers from diverse disciplines working in the field of deep learning, and shows the potential of Barcelona as the AI hub of the Mediterranean.
The seventh edition of DLBCN will be held on Wednesday 17th December 2025 at Cosmocaixa Barcelona.
This year, for the first time, DLBCN joins the ELLIS PRe-NeurIPS Fest. Yes, we know DLBCN is after NeurIPS, we just saved the best for last.

José Manuel Álvarez leads the Autonomous Vechicle Applied Research Group at Nvidia, CA, USA. The group focuses on scaling up deep learning for AV, spanning efficient and data-centric deep learning, 3D computer vision, and Self-Supervised Learning. Dr Álvarez has supported DLBCN since its first edition, and this year we are honoured to have him as keynote speaker.
