Artificial intelligence/machine learning is transforming our world and opening new horizons for research. This 2-part workshop offers an introduction to neural networks, the core technology underlying modern AI, without assuming calculus/linear algebra or prior experience with coding. The emphasis will be on understanding the fundamentals of how a neural network learns to perform various tasks. All are welcome to attend including those outside of the humanities and social sciences.

Meet the Facilitator

Sarah-Jane Leslie, Professor of Philosophy and the Center for Statistics and Machine Learning, and Co-Director of Natural and Artificial Minds
