I have been invited to the reinforcement learning workshop whose theme was “Sculpting Representation for Reinforcement Learning”. The workshop was great and I thank the organizers (Rich Sutton, Doina Precup & Eliot Ludvig) for their invitation. You can find my slides on the workshop website.

Methods, Neurons, Networks and Behaviors

June 13 - July 2, 2010. Okinawa, Japan

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

We are pleased to announce the 4th summer School in Computational Neuroscience, which will be held from Sunday June 13, 2010 until Friday June 25, 2010 inclusively. It is organized by the Center for Neural Dynamics at the University of Ottawa. This highly pedagogical course is directed at graduate students and postdoctoral […]

I was invited for the third time (see last year post) as Guest Lecturer for the Cognitive Science course at McGill University this week. Here the material from the lecture, including PowerPointSlides, PDFSlides. The presentation was build around (Montague, Hyman, & Cohen, 2004). Thanks to professor Thomas Shultz and the great audience. Extra questions can […]

Cette année, les conferences ICML (International Conference on Machine Learning), UAI (Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence) et COLT (Annual Conference on Learning Theory) auront lieu à Montréal du 14 au 21 juin. En plus, à ne pas manquer, il y aura un symposium multidisciplinaire sur l’apprentissage par renforcement (Multidisciplinary Symposium on Reinforcement Learning). Il […]

I just read Teaching Natural Computation by Johnson [1], a very interesting paper about the Computer Scientist B.Sc. curriculum. Is computer science just about what computers can compute, or is about computation in general (a bit like mathematic)? I think he is raising a very good question. The issue about natural computation is two folds.
First, […]
