HIIT seminar

Konemiehentie 2, seminar room T5

Hannu Toivonen, Professor Computer Science, University of Helsinki

Probabilistic Preference Learning With The Mallows Rank Model

Abstract:  Computational creativity has been defined as the art, science, philosophy and engineering of computational systems which, by taking on particular responsibilities, exhibit creative behaviours. In this talk I first try to elaborate on what creative responsibilities could be and why they are interesting. I then outline ways in which machine learning can be used to take on some of these responsibilities, helping computational systems become more creative.

Machine Learning Coffee seminars are weekly seminars held jointly by the Aalto University and the University of Helsinki. The seminars aim to gather people from different fields of science with interest in machine learning. Talks will begin at 9:15 am and porridge and coffee will be served from 9:00 am.

Next talks:

October 2, Kumpula: Flyura Djurabekova, Machine learning for Materials Research
October 9, Otaniemi: TBA

Welcome!
