I gave a talk about machine learning and math

I, too, spoke at the CMSA Big Data conference where this cool math bio talk took place. If you’ve seen me give a talk about math and machine learning lately, you’ve seen some of the slides in this talk, but if not, here’s me talking for an hour, a bit impressionistically, about generating interesting mathematical material using machine learning. Also, you can hear Sébastien Racanière from DeepMind correct me about the difference between AlphaGo and AlphaZero in real time!

Some of the material the talk is about this paper I wrote recently with Kit Fraser-Taliente, Karan Srivastava, and Drew Sutherland. I should blog about it! Also, you should hire Karan!
