Thirty-fourth International Conference on Machine Learning is held in Sydney this year. The accumulative brain power of this event is overwhelming. I’m taking notes, so below are few things that I found interesting.
Amongst most popular areas of interest for this year at the conference are:
- Neural Networks and Deep Learning
- Optimization (Continuous)
- Online Learning
- Generative Models
- Graphical Models
Machine Learning for Autonomous Vehicles
There is quite a bit of interest for this topic at the conference: 2h tutorial on day1 and full day workshop later in the conference. The tutorial was presented by Uber Advanced Technologies Group. It’s quite impressive that within slightly more than a year team has gone from building their 1st self driving vehicle (Dec’15) to self-driving cars picking up Uber passenger in Pittsburg (Feb’17).
