CDIS Red Talks
RED Talks are a CDIS (School of Computer, Data & Information Sciences) event series designed to advance learning at the intersection of technology and humanity. RED Talks feature academic and industry leaders sharing their exciting work and offering insights into topics that are often interdisciplinary and always cutting edge.
Computation and Informatics in Biology an Medicine (CIBM) Seminars
The Computation and Informatics in Biology an Medicine (CIBM) seminar brings together trainees and trainers in the CIBM Program as well as other interested faculty and students for cross-disciplinary exposure to current research in computer science, biostatistics, engineering, biological sciences, and biomedical research problems related to bioinformatics and computational biology.
- When: Tuesdays, 2:30-3:30 p.m.
- Where: Biotechnology Center Auditorium (faculty presentations) or room 1360 Biotech Center (CIBM fellows)
- Subscribe to the quantibio google group
HAMLET Seminar Series
HAMLET (Human, Animal, and Machine Learning: Experiment and Theory) is an interdisciplinary proseminar series that started in 2008. The goal is to provide behavioral and computational graduate students with a common grounding in the learning sciences. Guest speakers give a talk each week, followed by discussions. It has been an outlet for fresh research results from various projects. Participants are typically from Computer Sciences, ECE, Psychology, Educational Psychology as well as other parts of the campus.
- When: Fridays 3:45 – 5 p.m.
- Where: Berkowitz room (room 338, Psychology Building)
- Subscribe to the HAMLET mailing list
ML+X Lightning Talks
The ML Community hosts a monthly “ML+X” forum which features lightning talks and group discussions on real-world applications of ML. Each lightning talk presenter summarizes a specific ML use-case, methods employed, and challenges encountered throughout the project. Anyone working with or hoping to apply ML methods (classification, regression, clustering, NLP, etc.) is encouraged to present — especially those who are just getting started with ML. If interested, please send an email to endemann@wisc.edu to discuss logistics.
- When: Typically the first Tuesday of every month from 12-1 p.m. — see current semester schedule
- Where: Zoom & Orchard View Room, Discovery Building
- Subscribe to the ML Community google group to receive Zoom link
Machine Learning and Physics Seminars
The physics department hosts a (mostly) weekly Machine Learning and Physics seminar. At half of these events, they stream and discuss the Physics meets ML online seminar. On the other half, local speakers from UW Madison present their recent research or give introductions to interesting topics in Machine Learning. The schedule can be found here. Students are very welcome to attend this seminar.
Statistics Seminars
The statistics department hosts weekly seminars on a variety of statistics related topics. To review upcoming seminars and events, please visit the statistics events webpage.
- When: Wednesdays, 4-5 p.m.
- Where: Location varies — see the statistics events webpage
Systems | Information | Learning | Optimization (SILO) Talks
The Systems, Information, Learning and Optimization (SILO) research group at the University of Wisconsin-Madison aims to build a community of mathematically-minded researchers interested in computational and mathematical sciences. SILO hosts a weekly seminar which covers a variety of topics related to machine learning, optimization, and information theory. Review the upcoming schedule and join their mailing list here.
- When: Wednesdays, 12:30-1:30 p.m.
