It is the final day of our Pre-/Post- NIPS seminar series tomorrow! Those two talks will also conclude the series of talks we have had this year (2014). Both of the talks will be held at the usual place at 10.30 and at 13.30.

- 10.30 - 11.30 <15 million predictions per seconds: the scientific challenges at Criteo> by Nicolas le Roux (Criteo)

- 13.30 - 14.30 <General Stochastic Networks for Classification> by Matthias Zohrer (TU Graz)

Hope to see many of you tomorrow!
