Title: The Magical World of Autoencoders

For the coming October DataScience SG Meetup, we have Head of AI at Terra AI, Arnold Doray sharing with us about Autoencoders! Here are the details!

Agenda
6.30pm - 7.00pm: Registration
7.00pm - 8.00pm: The Magical World of Autoencoders (Arnold Doray)

Synopsis
This talk discuses in depth about autoencoders -
what they are, why they are interesting. We'll go in-depth
on how they might be applied, and also how to train them
effectively. This is not a math-heavy talk, but a concept-heavy
one! The core theme is manifold learning, which underpins both
autoencoders and other techniques, including LLMs.
The “why” and “how” are what will be addressed in this lecture. There will also be take-home labs you can run and experiment with yourself.

Hi everyone. Yes, we've heard your complaints about people rsvping and not showing up, and how there's space at the venue but no more rsvp slots. To resolve this, we seek your help with taking attendence at the events:

• For members who RSVP and no-show, they will receive -1 point. (RSVPs close 48 hrs before the event--please cancel your rsvp before this)
• For members who RSVP and show, they will receive +1 point.
• E.g., Bill RSVPs for 3 meetups. He shows up for only 1. Thus, he gets (-1) + (-1) + (+1) = -1 point.
• Members who have < -3 points will be banned.
• Members who have > 10 points will get VIP and can attend meetups without RSVP for a year
• Please approach our committee members to take your attendance. Thank you!
