TopQuants is proud to announce their fourth College Tour, on hot topics in AI/Machine Learning. The college tour consists of a series of lectures on a number of related topics. Each topic is carefully selected to align with current developments and trends in analytics, data science and machine learning. The lectures cover a historic overview and a deep dive in recent developments. After a lecture you will have a deeper understanding of the topic and a number of practical pointers to explore further on your own.
The lectures are intended for professionals with a background in science interested in current trending topics. It is envisioned that the lectures and the networking afterwards will facilitate a healthy dialogue between academia and industry to foster the sharing of knowledge.
The lectures will take place in the evening starting in September. Catering will be provided during walk-in and afterwards participants are invited to join the informal networking part of program. Complementary drinks will be served.
The fee for the program is set at €720 with everything included. Registration is open until Thursday August 24th. The number of tickets for the complete series of lectures is limited to 40.
