Irina Higgins, a Senior Research Scientist at DeepMindAI, will be our second speaker tomorrow at SVRHM addressing the question: What is disentangling and does intelligence need it?

An amazing paper!

This paper had the biggest subjective "wow" factor for me at #NeurIPS2019: "Deep Set Prediction Networks" by Yan Zhang, Jonathon Hare, Adam Prügel-Bennett arxiv.org/abs/1906.06565. The idea is very simple, and yet I find it mind-blowing.

It is imperative to train engineers with understanding and application of AI and data, if the UK is to continue its leading role in Engineering. I describe this in Times Higher Education here: timeshighereducation.com/blog/engineers…
