FSU SC Artificial Intelligence Seminar in Tallahassee
Explore AI and Machine Learning at Florida State University
We are a group of people located in and around Tallahassee, all sharing an interest in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Our primary objective is the exchange of knowledge and ideas. The seminar is hosted by the Department of Scientific Computing at the Florida State University (thus FSU SC). As part of the College of Arts and Sciences, the seminar brings together individuals from the College's diverse departments. If you are interested in getting to know us and possibly joining, we convene every Friday at 12:00 pm ET at DSL/SC-499 - you can also join via zoom. To become a part of our mailing list, please email Gordon Erlebacher. We are a diverse crowd, so presenting takes some thought. Our approach is best expressed by the NASA Trichotomy of Presenting, illustrated by Nathan:
