SGV AI and Machine Learning: Monthly Meeting

This is the San Gabriel Valley AI and Machine Learning Group's regular monthly meeting. We cater to everyone from the curious to the professional. Please join our Slack channel and mailing list at http://sgvai.org

Shang-Lin will begin the festivities with the monthly AI in the News discussion. This will be followed by multiple talks covering a wide range of topics.

1. Braddock Gaskill - Intro to Deep Computer Vision
2. Larry Hignight - Kaggle: Intro to Kaggle Competitions (Part 1)
3. George Vamos - GOFAI: Prolog, Aristotelian Logic and You
4. Perry Rivera - Statistical Programming in R

Details:

Introduction to Deep Computer Vision will examine convolution, feature visualization, pooling, and a few interesting CV tricks.

If you're interested in learning more about Kaggle, the Intro to Kaggle Competitions will provide a Kaggle competition overview. This will be followed by competition strategies in part 2 and reviews of competition submission in parts 3 and 4.

GOFAI: Prolog, Aristotelian Logic and You is the first in a series of talks covering Good Old Fashion AI (GOFAI) topics. This gentle introduction to logic programming in Prolog will begin with a demonstration of deductive reasoning using Categorical Syllogism as created by Aristotle (ie Really Old Fashioned AI). Those interested in following along with the examples should install SWI Prolog. There is an SWI Prolog package available in Apt for Debian and Ubuntu users (ie sudo apt install swi-prolog).
