Intelligent Systems @ Bristol, Seminar Series

Spring 2007

14.00-15.00

The Spring 2007 seminar series, supported by the Bridging the Gaps initiative, has hosted an array of world-class speakers. The seminars, run by the Intelligence Systems group; an aggregation of research groups from the Departments of Engineering Mathematics, Computer Science and the Institute for Learning and Technology, usually take place on a Thursday afternoon, between 2 and 3 pm. They are aimed at researchers interested in the general principles underlying learning and intelligence in machines and biological systems.

Topics covered so far include 'Retrieving information using a Bayesian model of generalization' (Zoubin Ghahramani, University of Cambridge), 'Foundations of natural computation' (Jon Rowe, University of Birmingham), 'Playing games, learning complex, vectorized outputs via maximum margin' (Sandor Szedmak, University of Southampton) and 'Predictive modelling on spatio-temporal patterns: from GIS to the geographic web' (Cesare Furlanello, FBK-IRST, Trento, Italy).

The summer series programme will be announced shortly, and will be posted on the group’s web site: http://intelligentsystems.bristol.ac.uk
