Deep Learning Study Group

Deep learning is evolving quickly. Important new developments are appearing daily. This group attempts to keep up by reading and discussing current deep learning literature. This meetup uses discussion among the participants to speed understanding of current research results. That requires that some participants read the paper before attending. Anyone is welcome to attend and listen without reading the paper. If nobody reads the paper the meeting will be short.

Paper for September 16, 2025:
Why Language Models Hallucinate
https://www.arxiv.org/abs/2509.04664
We are planning an in-person social event (dinner) on Tuesday Sept. 30 at 6:30 PM in Mountain View, CA. The restaurant is Agave, 194 Castro St., Mountain View CA. Each person buys their own dinner and drinks (both will run about $40; Agave's menu is online, or just stop by to socialize.) Hold the date. Please RSVP at our Sept. 16 Zoom meetup if you plan to attend this Sept. 30 event so we have a headcount estimate (if you have not already RSVPed).

Papers that we're reading, code that participants generate and other random stuff can be found at github site for the group.
