Dear all,

after a long pause we will have a tea talk this Friday at 2:30pm in AA3195.
We will have Galin Georgiev talk about

  Universal neural nets: Gibbs machines and ACE

== Abstract ==

We study a class of neural nets - Gibbs machines - which are a type of
variational auto-encoders, designed for gradual learning. They offer an
universal platform for incrementally adding newly learned features,
including physical symmetries in space/time. Combining them with
classifiers gives rise to a brand of universal generative neural nets -
stochastic auto-classifier-encoders (ACE). ACE preserve the non-Gaussian
and clustering nature of real-life data and have state-of-the-art
performance, both for classification and density estimation for the MNIST
data set.

Hope to see many of you there,
