Soumith is a fun & entertaining guy that London Machine Learning Meetup had as a guest speaker on 11th July 2016.
Title: A path to unsupervised learning through adversarial networks
Speaker: Soumith Chintala
Abstract: In this talk, we will go over generative adversarial networks, a particular way of training neural networks to build high quality generative models. The talk will take you through an easy to follow timeline of the research and improvements in adversarial networks, followed by some future directions, as well as applications.
Bio: Soumith Chintala is a Researcher at Facebook AI Research, where he works on deep learning, reinforcement learning, generative image models, agents for video games and large-scale high-performance deep learning. He holds a Masters in CS from NYU.
