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.
In Term 3, we are doing trends in Machine Learning. If you are interested in giving a talk please contact Andreas or Cass.
