An Introduction to Deep Learning with Neural Networks

Join us and the Acadia Institute for Data Analytics on January 29th for a morning workshop and hands-on introduction to developing predictive models using deep learning artificial neural networks. Dr. Danny Silver and Dr. Andy McIntyre will share a high-level overview of the key elements of neural networks and deep learning, and recent advances that allow deep networks to solve challenging problems. Participants will get a hands-on experience and build their own deep models using prepared software (Keras and Tensorflow). Programming or coding experience is not a requirement for participants, as all code needed will be provided, however some programming experience will help! For this workshop, please bring a laptop with the latest version of the Chrome browser, and a Google account for using Google Drive. If you need one provided, please let us know in advance! Anyone who is interested in this session must register by January 24th and complete a short study prior to the workshop (which we will send you).

Halifax Unity Dev Meetup

Details Hey all! Our very first meetup ever will be taking place on Jan 29th from 6 pm to 8 pm at Volta inside the Volta Classroom in downtown Halifax, this event will be officially sponsored by both Unity and the ISNS. As this is the first meetup of many, this will be a bit of an unstructured meet and greet. Feel free to come and go, but I'll probably try to do official introductions/kick off around 6:30. No topic of discussion or project is too big, or too small as long as it's related to Unity! Several artists, designers and programmers from studios in HRM will be in attendance as well as ISNS members in general. If anyone has questions or needs more info feel free to reach out to me. I'd also highly encourage joining the discord channel to get the discussion pre-warmed! https://discord.gg/GgTMkXz I look forward to meeting everyone! Attend
