FSU SC Artificial Intelligence Seminar

Tallahassee, Florida

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 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. We have a Discord; and to become a part of our mailing list, please email Gordon Erlebacher. We also have a sister seminar in the Department of Mathematics, the Data Science and Machine Learning Seminar, with which we hold joint sessions twice each semester.

We are a diverse crowd, so presenting takes some thought. Our approach is best expressed by the NASA Trichotomy of Presenting.

Schedule for Spring 2026
