Sparsity in Neural Networks

Journal club on brain-inspired machine learning algorithms related to sparse representations in neural networks (see group description for other related topics).

We have 4 presentations scheduled for this meetup. Each presentation includes also time for interactions - our goal is to sparkle discussions and engage all participants.
