General information

Types of Events I am Leading as Dean October 19, 2018

1. Class - A School of AI class involves up to 3 speakers educating an audience on a particular AI topic (library, algorithm, concept, ethics, etc.)
2. Study Group - A School of AI Study Group involves having an engaging group conversation on a particular AI research paper.These are open-ended sessions that involve asking any questions you have about the paper and discussing the merits of different algorithmic approaches.
3. Hands-on Workshop - A hands-on workshop involves coding. Students are asked to bring their laptops as they will be following along as the presenter guides them through a particular application of AI.
4. Hackathon - Hackathons are events that are up to 24 hours in length that involve students creating an AI application that relates to a specific topic. These topics can be as open-ended (Code an AI app!) or specific (Use PyTorch to create a price prediction app).
