13th Annual Machine Learning Symposium

13th Annual Machine Learning Symposium

Friday, March 1, 2019, 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM EST

The New York Academy of Sciences, 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich St Fl 40, New York

Presented By

The New York Academy of Sciences

 

Machine Learning, a subfield of computer science, involves the development of mathematical algorithms that discover knowledge from specific data sets, and then "learn" from the data in an iterative fashion that allows predictions to be made. Today, Machine Learning has a wide range of applications, including natural language processing, search engine optimization, medical diagnosis and treatment, financial fraud detection, and stock market analysis.

This symposium, the thirteenth in an ongoing series presented by the Machine Learning Discussion Group at the New York Academy of Sciences, will feature Keynote Presentations from leading scientists in both applied and theoretical Machine Learning and Spotlight Talks, a series of short, early career investigator presentations across a variety of topics at the frontier of Machine Learning.

From the event

Aaron Roth's Keynote "The Ethical Algorithm" (livestream)

Russ Salakhutdinov's Keynote "Integrating Domain-Knowledge into Deep Learning" (livestream)

Sham Kakade's Keynote "Curiosity, Intrinsic Motivation, and Provably Efficient Maximum Entropy Exploration" (slideshow PDF)
