Will this talk be streamed ? yes

See you there!

TITLE Biases in Grad students: Analysis from a Cafeine Theoretic perspective

ABSTRACT
The biggest challenge right now in grad students specifically, AI grad students, is to devise methods for learning complex behaviours that include attending classes at 8.30am.
In this talk, I'm going to first argue that the discrepancy between tea and coffee has much to do with current practices in evaluating generalization in multitask, transfer and meta-learning setups, and then I'm going to talk about an elegant solution for learning complex productive working strategies that can be used to exploit the structure of the task, thus enabling the grad student to incorporate prior knowledge into the learning system to exploit reusable structure in task space.

BIO
April Van Houtte is a senior member of Mila and he works on keeping grad students caffeinated. He pioneered the S-o-C (sip of coffee) operator as a new neural modulation block.He recently received enduring award from ACM (Association of Coffee Makers) which is considered the noble prize in hot beverages.
