Please join us for tomorrow's tea-talk, by our newest recruit Stephan, and Çağlar. The talk will be held from 2:00-3:00 pm in the lisa lab, as usual.
The next two tea-talks slots (April 18th + 25th) will be reserved for ICLR rehearsal talks, so please ping me to schedule them if you haven't already.
Speaker: Stephan Gouws Abstract/Bio: Stephan Gouws is a PhD research exchange student at UdeM from Stellenbosch University in South Africa. Besides learning French and hoping for "real" summer to finally roll around, he also works on applying neural language models to transfer-learning problems involving sequence-tagging models in natural language processing. An example might be to extract the names of companies, people and products from raw text drawn from two different domains, when labelled information is only available for one of the domains. Stephan's talk will serve as a quick introduction to who he is, where he's from, and a little more on what he is working on.
Speaker: Çağlar Gülçehre Abstract: In our accepted ICLR 2013 paper(Knowledge Matters:Importance of prior information for optimization), we have shown that it is possible to solve really hard/abtract vision problems by incorporating hints at the intermediate level of representation and disentangling the factors of variations. In our followup research project, we aim to expand that approach to harder&possibly more abstract problems in both biologically and computationally more plausible way. We are still at the early stage of our project and the purpose of this talk is to get feedback and criticism on our research.
