Some great lectures on AI and ML from Oxford University. A thread... [1/32] @CompSciOxford @UniofOxford
So in the Dept of Computer Science at Oxford Uni, we run a distinguished lecture series called the Strachey Lectures, after Christopher Strachey, the first director of Oxford's computer
lab: https://t.co/kjYbG2IifM [2/32]
(Strachey was a fascinating character - he got interested in computing after writing to Turing. He died young, and for this reason his story is not so well-known outside Oxford. But this thread is not about him - another time maybe...) [3/32]
Given the boom in AI/ML, it isn't surprising that we've had many leaders in AI/ML give Strachey Lectures, and since they have been recorded, I thought I'd share them... [4/32]
First up: @demishassabis. By coincidence, Demis's lecture was in Feb 2016, just a couple of weeks before the now-famous AlphaGo competition in Seoul with Lee Sedol. [5/32]
