BCS/IET Turing Lecture
"Embracing Uncertainty: The new machine intelligence"
Professor Christopher Bishop, Chief Research Scientist, Microsoft Research Cambridge
Location: Savoy Place, London
Date: 25 February 2010
Computers are traditionally viewed as logical machines which follow precise, deterministic instructions. The real world in which they operate, however, is full of complexity, ambiguity, and uncertainty.
In this year's Turing Lecture, Professor Chris Bishop discusses the field of machine learning, and shows how uncertainty can be modelled and quantified using probabilities. He looks at the recent developments in probabilistic modelling which have greatly expanded the variety and scale of machine learning applications, and he explores the future potential for this technology.
The lecture is free of charge but there is a charge should you wish to attend the buffet reception. The lecture and buffet reception are both open to members and non-members of BCS and the IET.
This year, booking for the event will be via the IET website and BCS Members will need to register an account on the website before being able to book on to the lecture.
