Machine Learning Lunchtime Chat

This is an informal discussion group mainly focussed on algorithms, architectures and methodologies that are being used in the group, or that we're interested in learning about. The meeting is typically every Tuesday from around 12 - 1:30, in the meeting room on Level 5, Axon Building. BYO Lunch!
