Call for Papers – Deep Learning for Design Deep Learning for Engineering Design A Thematic Collection in the Design Science Journal Deadline for full submissions: 31 May 2019 OVERVIEW Machine learning is generally concerned with the development of computational systems that can improve their performance of a task with experience (typically in the form of data). Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that seeks to improve performance and robustness of computational systems by imbuing them with the ability to construct internal representations of the data at varying degrees of abstraction. Deep neural networks are an increasingly common method…
