Past Meetings

• Monday 13 February, follow up on the Deep Learning and Natural Language Processing course. Please make sure you watch the first two video's of the course on Youtube. The notes of this meeting are on this Etherpad!

• Friday 20 January - neural networks III Third meeting with the neural nets, in which we started to follow the Deep Learning and Natural Language Processing course from Stanford, by Richard Socher (oa. CEO MetaMind). The etherpad with our notes is here.

• Friday 16 December - neural networks II Second meeting to dive further into neural networks. We took notes here.

• Friday 25 November 10-18h in Constant WTC, Tower1, 25th floor, Av Roi Albert 28-30 / Koning Albertlaan 28-30 (behind Gare du Nord): a first dive in neural networks and how we can get their process legible, visible, understandable. A.O. we'll build a neural-net dedicated computer / XMPP bots): http://pad.constantvzw.org/public_pad/neural_networks_1

• Thursday 3 November 2016: we will start from Uncertainty Detected, a supervised machine learning script (using Python and Scikit Learn) that predicts uncertain sentences in scientific papers. By looking at the code and visualisations of the data, we will propose some concrete parts of the process for literary, textual and design applications. Hosts: Gijs & An
