*apparently Zoom does work on Chrome without the app, but you might be prompted to download the client if you’re on another browser or an older version. You shouldn’t need to create an account though. There is also a mobile app if easier. We will share the Zoom link on here and on Slack.

'A Gentle Introduction to Anomaly Detection with Autoencoders'
In this Meetup, I will present the outstanding work of Victor Dibia to explain the what and why of autoencoders based on a practical example. There will be no slides, but we will instead go through https://anomagram.fastforwardlabs.com together. Along the way I will help you understand the basic concepts of autoencoders and we will conclude this talk with you training your own autoencoder on the ECG5000 data set.
