We also want to make a more direct contribution to academic learning and training the next generation of machine learning practitioners, and so, starting this month, we’ll be running a state-of-the-art Masters level training module called Advanced Topics in Machine Learning with University College London’s (UCL) Department of Computer Science. Led by DeepMind’s Thore Graepel, other invited speakers will include leading researchers spanning areas such as deep learning, reinforcement learning, natural language understanding and others. Hado van Hasselt, Joseph Modayil, Koray Kavukcuoglu, Raia Hadsell, James Martens, Oriol Vinyals, Shakir Mohamed, Simon Osindero, Ed Grefenstette and Karen Simonyan will be joined by Volodymyr Mnih, David Silver and Alex Graves – who are also some of the first authors of DeepMind’s three Nature papers.
