I propose to split this week’s reading group into two parts. For the first half I am thinking of showing a video of the first half of Josh Tenenbaum’s invited talk at ICML which introduces some of the basic ideas behind his recent research.

For the second half of the meeting I would like to briefly discuss a recent paper which uses a similar model as the one that Tenenbaum uses in cognitive science but for a practical application:

`Efficient Bayesian Task-Level Transfer Learning’ By Dan Roy and Leslie Kaebling. http://web.mit.edu/droy/www/papers/ijcai07-droy.pdf

Sorry again about the late notice. This is a short paper so not too much reading is needed in order to get the basic idea. We probably won’t have time to cover the technical details anyway.
