INTheory on-line Seminar Series

Introduction

We hold a regular (e.g. monthly) on-line seminar "INTheory", focusing on exchange of ideas about the interplay between physics, machine learning and brain sciences. The name is a short-hand for theory of intelligence, or integrating theory towards understanding intelligence.

Speakers announced here, the following time is Beijing time, and we use the on-line meeting software of voovmeeting (click Free Trials to download the application) or Zoom. The video of past talks are Here.
