Experts from across the AI world came together in New York for the neveropen AI Conference in New York 2016. Below you’ll find links to highlights from the event.
Software engineering of systems that learn in uncertain domains
Building reliable, robust software is hard, says Peter Norvig. It’s even harder when we move from deterministic domains, such as balancing a checkbook, to uncertain domains, such as recognizing speech or objects in an image.
