Reading Group Schedule

Every month, our Reading Group, consisting of our postgraduate students discusses of a chapter of the currently assigned book. The two chosen students prepare presentations in advance; each has 15 minutes to present their summary. Thereafter the group discusses the chapter further. Occasionally we produce Jupyter Notebooks from these sessions.

We are currently reading Deep Learning by Ian Goodfellow, Yoshua Bengio and Aaron Courville. Our Reading Group is currently split in two: a Junior Group and a Senior Group.

Previous books:

• Machine Learning: An Algorithmic Perspective by Stephen Marsland.
