The Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning Research Group in the Department of Computer Science cordially invites you to a series of talks that will explain, explore, and demystify the technology that everyone is talking about: machine learning.
The media reports almost daily on the latest developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI), quite often on its front pages. Almost without exception, everything heralded as an 'AI breakthrough' is driven by a set of underlying models and algorithms that are collectively known as machine learning (ML).
These talks will offer the opportunity to learn more about the various aspects of machine learning from specialists across a number of topic areas. They are designed to educate, inform, and even entertain. The talks will be aimed at a broad audience: all staff and students are invited to attend.
