Event Information
Event description
Description
The Melbourne ML/AI community is incredibly lucky this month - in partnership with AirTree Ventures, we're excited to announce a special event with guest Richard Socher (Chief Scientist, Salesforce), who will be town for the ACL conference.
In addition to his role at Salesforce, Richard is one of the leading researchers in deep learning and natural language processing and an adjunct professor at Stanford University's Department of Computer Science .
Richard will be talking about the global landscape for artificial intelligence with partner at AirTree Ventures, John Henderson.
Richard will then present his team's recent research on the Natural Language Decathlon: Multitask Learning as Question Answering (https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.08730), a new paradigm for natural language learning that casts all tasks as question answering over a context. Q&A will be welcome and encouraged!
*** IMPORTANT ***
Attendance will be free, but as this is a special event and places will be strictly limited, ALL attendees must register via EventBrite.
Unfortunately we will not be able to admit anyone who does not have an EventBrite ticket.
