A reception will follow.\n\n The Penfield Lecture\n\nThe Penfield L ecture was inaugurated in 1985 to honour Wilder Penfield\, pioneering neur osurgeon and founder of The Neuro. This year\, we are pleased to welcome D r. Yoshua Bengio\, who is the world-leading expert on Deep Learning and co -author of the best-selling book on that topic.\n\nYoshua Bengio\, Ph.D.\n \nDr. Yoshua Bengio’s research objective is to understand the mathematical and computational principles\, which give rise to intelligence through le arning. He contributed to a wide spectrum of Deep Learning areas and is we ll known for his theoretical results on recurrent neural networks\, kernel machines\, distributed representations\, depth of neural architectures\, and the optimization challenge of deep learning. His work was crucial in a dvancing how deep networks are trained\, how neural networks can learn vec tor embeddings for words\, how to perform machine translation with deep le arning by taking advantage of an attention mechanism\, and how to perform unsupervised learning with deep generative models.  He is the author of th ree books and more than 300 publications\, is among the most cited Canadia n computer scientists and is\, or has been\, associate editor of the top j ournals in machine learning and neural networks.\n\nA reception will follo w\n\n \n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20171102 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20171102 SUMMARY:Wilder Penfield Lecture 2017: Deep Learning URL:https://www.mcgill.ca/epi-biostat-occh/channels/event/wilder-penfield-l ecture-2017-deep-learning-268936 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
