SUMMARY:Talk: Visualising Antiquity in the Modern World
DESCRIPTION:Join Professor Michael Scott from the Warwick Department of Classics and Ancient History as he examines how such visualisations can enable both scholars and the wider public to contextualise the ancient past\, its place in the present and thus its role as a guide to the future… \nAbout Professor Michael Scott\nProfessor Michael Scott\, alongside his academic work focus on the ancient Mediterranean\, has over the last decade\, make over 15 documentaries for UK\, US and Australian TV. \nIn his latest BBC2 series ‘Invisible Cities’\, he has worked with a team of 3D laser scanners to record millimetre perfect visualisations of difficult to reach and unknown ancient locations. \nIn this keynote lecture\, he shows how these visualisation techniques in TV documentaries have developed in recent years; the potential they provide for visualising particularly ancient civilisations and relating them to the modern world; the roles such visualisations are coming to play in the language of TV programme-making; and the future potential applications of such visualisation technology. \nRegister your place here.

SUMMARY:Talk: Learning how to learn efficiently at the Alan Turing Institute
DESCRIPTION:Join The Alan Turing Institute for a talk with Nando de Freitas of Google DeepMind on training neural networks to solve many tasks with fewer data\, followed by a Q&A and drinks reception.\nTraining a large neural network with lots of data and subsequently deploying this model to carry out specific tasks\, such as speech recognition\, machine translation\, game playing\, image recognition\, image and text generation\, text-to-speech\, and lipreading has been incredibly fruitful. Instead of focusing on few tasks with massive amounts of data\, this talk will however focus training neural networks to solve many tasks with few data each. The objective is not to learn a fixed-parameter classifier\, but rather to learn a “prior” neural network that can be adapted rapidly to solve new tasks with few data. The output of training is not longer a fixed model\, but rather a fast learner. That is\, the goal is to build tools that learn. \nSome technical knowledge required. \n18:00-18:30 – Registration \n18:30-18:35 – Welcome and introduction – Mark Briers (The Alan Turing Institute) \n18:35-19:25 – Learning how to learn efficiently – Nando de Freitas (Google DeepMind) \n19:25-19:40 – Q&A – Nando de Freitas and Mark Briers \n19:40-20:30 – Drinks reception \nLimited Spaces Remaining – Book here.
