Journal Club

We discuss recent papers and other topics related to probabilistic machine learning. Meetings take place on every Tuesday starting at 12:15, excluding the first Tuesday of each Month when there is no journal club. During the semester, the meetings are held in T4, but during the summer time (until 16.10) they are in T3.

This page lists the confirmed papers and topics.
