LAI Reading Group

Lancaster AI (LAI) reading group is a weekly reading group focusing on topics related to AI, including but not limited to: diffusion models, information geometry, stochastic optimisation, geometric deep learning. It will be more tutorial-styled, instead of seminar-styled, tailored more towards people who wish to learn more about the recent developments of AI. This reading group is supported by the Prob_AI Hub.

In Term 1, we are doing optimisation for machine learning. In Term 2, we are doing Bayesian deep learning. If you are interested in giving a talk please contact Andreas or Cass.
