Hi all, First of all the schedule has changed, and tea talks will be Wednesdays from 13-14 from now on. There is an exception this week. We will have Ian presenting this **Thursday from 13:00 to 14:00**. Speaker: Ian Goodfellow Title: Ian's ideas for research projects Abstract: I'll throw out a few of my recent ideas for research projects, ranging from easy to idealistic: -Restricted maxout units -Regularizing piecewise linear nets to change pieces rarely -Sparsely connected recurrent nets -Trajectory optimization for recurrent nets -"Cognitive agency" and how you can use it to do things like discrete-state nets, dynamically structured nets, and nets that interact with data structures like stacks and tapes I hope to see many of you there. And please register for giving tea talks. Razvan
