Yandex Course on Machine Learning

Dear All, I hope that you are all enjoying the festive season and that you have a wonderful New Year. For a number of years we have given our PhD student an intensive two week course on machine learning given by Yandex. Last year we opened this up to other members of college and we had about 25 people from different departments (including our own PhD students). As last year was a success we have decided to invite people from other groups and departments take the course again this year. The course is a mixture of the theoretical and the practical and we think that it is very good indeed. The dates for next year's course are 23 Jan-06 Feb 2017. More details and a sign up page can be found at: http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/newsandeventspggrp/imperialcollege/naturalscienc… Unfortunately, we have to charge the people taking the course £250 per person. This is to help cover the costs of the Yandex instructors (Yandex only charge us for the expenses of the instructors in London and nothing else). Please forward this email to anybody within Imperial who you think might be interested. Best, david

Hmm ... I can but possibly because I hadn't filled it in earlier. I am sending to the list to see if others have the same problem as Harry.

Who represents which group/course?
by David Colling 02 Dec '16

Hi All, I have just had a look at the list of people listed on the web pages as to who represents which group and some of these people have left or in significant roles that means that they specifically don't do this any more. So it would be good to update this list so please could you tell me which group/course you represent. The web page can be found at: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/physics/staff/computing/ and is clearly from a few years ago. Best, david
