Fwd: IEEE/MITACS Seminar February 9, 2012: John Tsitsiklis, MIT
by Yoshua Bengio 05 Fév '12

05 Fév '12

John Tsitsiklis is an international star in the area of optimization / decision-taking (with some connections to reinforcement learning). He will give a talk on distributed averaging algorithms which are closely connected to the kinds of algorithms presented by John Langord on distributed machine learning at a recent talk also at McGill. I encourage you to go. -- Yoshua Begin forwarded message: > > From: "Carrie Serban, Ms." <carrie.serban(a)mcgill.ca<mailto:carrie.serban@mcgill.ca>> > Subject: IEEE/MITACS Seminar February 9, 2012: John Tsitsiklis,MIT > Date: 2 February, 2012 11:14:51 AM EST > To: "Carrie Serban, Ms." <carrie.serban(a)mcgill.ca<mailto:carrie.serban@mcgill.ca>> > > Good morning, > > The next MITACS seminar will be held as follows: > > Averaging algorithms and distributed anonymous discrete function computation > Dr. John Tsitsiklis > Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology > > Friday, February 10, 2012 > 11:30 – 1:00 > McGill University, McConnell Engineering building, room 12 > > This seminar is co-sponsored by the IEEE Montreal chapter. > > Kindly forward to any students or colleagues who might be interested. > > Thanks very much. > Best regards, > Carrie > > Carrie Serban > Administrative Coordinator > SYTACom > McGill University > (514) 398-8104 > carrie.serban(a)mcgill.ca<mailto:carrie.serban@mcgill.ca> > >
