Description

This lecture series will feature eminent local mathematicians or mathematics educators to share with the public some of their interests and ideas.

Speaker

Adrian Roellin, National University of Singapore

Adrian Roellin graduated in mathematics and computer science from the University of Zurich in 2002, where he also received his Ph.D. in 2006. After postdoctoral positions at the University of Oxford, University of Berne and NUS, he joined the Department of Statistics and Applied Probability at NUS in 2009, where he is now associate professor. His research focus is probability theory and statistics, but he has always maintained a passion for artificial intelligence.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence was supposed to revolutionise our lives for many decades now, yet few concrete products have resulted from this line of research. Is the latest iteration of artificial neural networks finally going to fulfil this promise? I will argue that, despite the recent hype, there is still a long way to go.
