GHOST in new semester

According to the arrangements made at the organizational meeting, GHOST will operate in six groups in the current semester

1. AlphaGo Group – a group that aims to understand the AlphaGo algorithm developed by Google DeepMind, which a few years ago defeated best human player in the game of Go
2. VIZDOOM Group – a group whose goal is to extend the VIZDOOM library for reinforcement learning
3. Probabilistic Programming Group – a group working on understanding the Probabilistic Programming paradigm and its use for machine learning
4. DeepRacer Group – a group which builds a miniature of an autonomous car controlled by deep neural networks. The group, in cooperation with the RAI scientific club, will submit a grant application and (if grant will be awarded) RAI will build a miniature of the car, and GHOST will design algorithms analogous to those used in self-driving cars.
5. GHOSTDay Group – a special group organizing a conference related to machine learning at the Poznan University of Technology
6. IJCAI Group – (for now we have only one person – join us! 🙂 group starting in the competition about adversarial examples

Report from Google Hash Code 2018

Last Thursday, we were hosts of a hub for Google Hash Code 2018 competition. Although the number of participants exceeded our expectations (about 120 people!), it went well without any organizational problems. Nobody ran out of electricity and wifi was working fine. Also, everyone received a piece of delicious pizza, for which we would like to thank the Poznań branch of PTI.

New GHOST website!

We are happy to announce that our new website has been launched! Previously, all information about our meetings were posted on our tutor’s website: http://www.cs.put.poznan.pl/mlango/ghost. However, in connection with the transformation of our group into a full-fledged scientific circle, we decided to create a separate website and fanpage on facebook.
