14th Machine Learning Meetup
Details
A special edition of London Machine Learning Meetup where we join forces with our London, Paris, Berlin and Zurich colleagues to hear from Andrew Ng (http://cs.stanford.edu/people/ang/), known to many of us for his Coursera introductory Machine Learning course, and recently announced as Baidu's chief scientist.
Andrew Ng (http://cs.stanford.edu/people/ang/) will present Deep Learning: Machine Learning and AI via large-scale neural networks during 40 minutes.
We are delighted to be able to announce that Andrew's webcast will be followed with a special panel of UK-based academics who will each present for 15 minutes and allow plenty of time for Q&A.
To guarantee a place you must also register with Skills Matter. Please check here for the link to do this and make sure you have registered before turning up on Monday night. Thank you to Skills Matter for sponsoring the venue for this meet up.

Our panelists:
David Barber (http://web4.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/d.barber/pmwiki/pmwiki.php), Author of 'Bayesian Reasoning and Machine Learning', Reader in Computational Statistics and Machine Learning at University College London.
Deep and Shallow
David will discuss aspects related to deep and shallow learning. He will show data compression results that outperform standard deep learning methods and at a fraction of the computational cost.
David Duvenaud (http://mlg.eng.cam.ac.uk/duvenaud/), Final year Ph.D. candidate at Cambridge University
Visualizing Priors on Deep Functions
David will discuss properties of deep, infinitely-wide neural nets giving rise to deep Gaussian processes and deep kernels. David will visually explore these relatively simple models, and show what happens when one performs dropout in Gaussian processes.
See you there!
