Deep dive into self-attention [Presentation & Discussion]

This is a free event! The content will be quite technical. Everyone is welcome. Due to very low capacity it's probably best to come only if you have heard of 'self-attention' before.

Getting technical
I hope you've all been having a great summer! Thank you to everyone who attended our last event, it was a really fun evening and it was so thrilling to meet all you ML enthusiasts from Bath and nearby. It was a very successful experiment in my eyes.

For this event we'll tackle something more technical. I want to spend some time talking about attention and self-attention, specifically how it relates to human attention (and how we should interpret self-attention activations). I hope this will appeal to at least 9 of you; I've booked a room which is meant for 10 people. If there's more demand you'll have to stand!

Event plan:

• 'doors open' at 18:30
• presentation / talk from 18:45-19:15
• discussion / q&a from 19:15-19:45
• networking afterwards, perhaps we can go for a drink somewhere depending on the vibe!

You don't need to prepare or bring anything except a curious mind!
This event is open to everybody, and all are welcome regardless of knowledge or understanding. Because of the technical content of this event (I will try to keep it accessible) I would suggest that you only come if you already know a bit about transformers and self-attention. But I'll cover them from scratch, so if you're just very curious then please don't hesitate to join us!
