These are my sketchnotes for Sam Charrington’s podcast This Week in Machine Learning and AI about Learning State Representations with Yael Niv: https://twimlai.com/twiml-talk-92-learning-state-representations-yael-niv/ Sketchnotes from TWiMLAI talk #92: Learning State Representations with Yael Niv You can listen to the podcast here. In this interview Yael and I explore the relationship between neuroscience and machine learning. In particular, we discusses the importance of state representations in human learning, some of her experimental results in this area, and how a better understanding of representation learning can lead to insights into machine learning problems such as reinforcement and transfer learning.

Recently, I announced my workshop on Deep Learning with Keras and TensorFlow. The next dates for it are January 18th and 19th in Solingen, Germany. You can register now by following this link: https://www.codecentric.de/schulung/deep-learning-mit-keras-und-tensorflow If any non-German-speaking people want to attend, I’m happy to give the course in English! Contact me if you have further questions. As a little bonus, I am also sharing my sketch notes from a Podcast I listened to when first getting into Keras:

Last night, the MünsteR R user-group had another great meetup: Karin Groothuis-Oudshoorn, Assistant Professor at the University of Twente, presented her R package mice about Multivariate Imputation by Chained Equations. It was a very interesting talk and here are my sketchnotes that I took during it: MICE talk sketchnotes Here is the link to the paper referenced in my notes: https://www.jstatsoft.org/article/view/v045i03 “The mice package implements a method to deal with missing data.
