[Fwd: seminar course on Neural Computation]


Dear One and All

Two quick things:

We do indeed convene for our organizational meeting on Wednesday Oct. 3
at 1230 in Room 502 Kincaid Hall.   Please come with your calendars and
friends.

There is also a fabulous new course options for grads interested in
computational neurbiology.  It should be excellent.

Last, but not least, the good Professor Thompson will be speaking at
1:30 on Wednesday as well!

Hi Tom,

Hope you are doing well. By popular request from students in CSE, I am
starting a seminar class on neural computation. I thought the class
might also be of interest to grads in your department. The class will
meet weekly and each meeting will involve discussion of a paper of
current interest in neural computing/computational neuroscience. The
class is worth 1 credit hour, grades will be credit/no credit.
Could you please forward the following announcement to your grads?
thanks,
Raj

CSE 590NC is a new special topics seminar on neural computation and
learning. We will be meeting Tuesdays, 1:30-2:50pm, in Balmer Hall Room
409 (http://www.washington.edu/students/maps/map.cgi?BLM).
The seminar will be largely informal, involving discussions of classic
as well as recent papers in neural computing and computational
neuroscience. Participants will get to select one or more papers from a
reading list and will lead the corresponding discussion meetings.
Specific topics that we will cover include:
Supervised and unsupervised learning
Reinforcement learning and imitation learning
Bayesian inference and relationship to neural networks
Recurrent and hierarchical networks
Applications in computer vision, robotics, and brain-computer interfaces

The class is worth 1 credit hour, grades will be credit/no credit. The
first meeting next Tuesday (Oct 2) will be mainly organizational -- we
will discuss our mutual interests and finalize the reading list.

All are welcome -- see you on Tuesday!
Raj
