A.I.B. October: Build a Smart Teddy & New age language models

UPDATE (September 26):

First, allow me to thank you all for joining our event in such a large number. It's a great honour and pleasure.

The meeting room in Cegeka has not enough space to accommodate all, so we will meet instead at * Artist Cafe, Lipscani 30 *, same date, same time.

Here's Artist Cafe on the map - https://artistcafe.ro/#contact, and here's how to get there if you come by car (350 meters walk from Universitate Parking) - http://bit.ly/2mUXr7o

Should you choose the subway, it's even easier (6 minutes walk) - http://bit.ly/2liMRXD !

See you on the 3rd of October, 18:30, at Artist Cafe (Lipscani 30) !
