Dear all,

This is a reminder of two talks scheduled tomorrow. The first talk will be given by Xinyi Chen and Peng (Eric) Ding from DeepGlint. The second talk will be given by Sarath Chandar from IBM India.

Both of these talks will be at AA3195. The first one starts at 10.30, and the second one at 13.30.

Hope to see many of you there!

P.S. I will probably prepare snacks only for the afternoon's talk, unless anyone objects. Anyone who objects to this is kindly asked to bring snacks for everyone to the morning's talk :)
