UNIC Lightning Bites – Agents of Intelligence: AI Basics (Session 1)

The basics of AI: The Elegant Simplicity of Deep Neural Networks

Contrary to popular belief, the underpinnings of deep learning are rooted in surprisingly simple mathematics. Through a clever combination of functions and parameters, deep neural networks manage to discern patterns in vast amounts of data. This presentation will unveil these foundational equations and showcase how something so straightforward powers cutting-edge innovations in artificial intelligence.

About Professor Gilles Louppe (Montefiore Institute of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science) :
His research topics are at the intersection of deep learning, approximate inference and the physical sciences. Together with his collaborators and students, they have been developping a new generation of simulation-based inference algorithms based on deep learning, with several applications in particle physics, astrophysics, astronomy and gravitational wave science. Their long-term research objective is make AI a cornerstone of the modern scientific method.
