đź—“ Online session introducing the course: April 21, 6pm (all times CEST, i.e. time in Germany)
Description
We will discuss the lecture series program, prerequisites, and the format of the online sessions. I will also say some words about the pre-history of neural networks. Please pre-register! (Link at the top of this website, under “most important info”)
Suggested historical reading: Alan Turing’s “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” (1950), introducing what is now known as the “Turing test” for artificial intelligence. A wonderful (and very nontechnical) paper!
Further historical reading: Rosenblatt’s concept of a “Perceptron” (1957).
