Reminder,
every body that got a paper accepted to NIPS, tell me! I must put in the our publication web page.

Greeting,
This week we will have Olivier D. tell us about sum-product networks and his recent contributions to their theoretic development. This work will be appearing at the upcoming NIPS.
When: Wednesday Nov. 9th. 14h00 Where: LISA LAB (AA3256)
Title: On Sum-Product Networks
Abstract: I will explain what are sum-product networks, why they can be useful, and why we care about deep ones. I will provide theoretical results on the expressive power of deep sum-product networks, showing they are able to represent some functions (exponentially) more compactly than their shallow counterpart. These results contribute to motivate recent research involving learning of deep sum-product networks, and more generally motivate research in Deep Learning. This is joint work with Yoshua.
Cheers, Aaron
