A joint collaboration between:

Image Processing Group at Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC)	Computer Vision Group at Universitat de Barcelona (UB)

How do computers learn ? Can the see, listean or reason the way humans do ? The Artificial Intelligence Reading Group (ReadAI) addresses these problems.

The reading group will meet at UPC and UB analyze a recent scientific publication. Each week, a different member of the group will prepare a set of slides to be shared and discussed with the attendees, who will have also previously read the paper. UPC-MET students will receive the corresponding ECTS according to their activity before and during each session. If you are interested in attending, send an e-mail to professor Xavier Giró from the UPC Image Processing Group.

Other reading groups with public listings: University of Texas, University of Toronto, University of British Columbia, Stanford University, The Berkeley View.
