Happy New Year 2018 to all !

Since the last Nuit Blanche in Review (October and November 2017), we at LightOn had our First Light ! (more details later on the upcoming LightOn's newsletter) and started having a more general conversation on Random Projections through the organization of a small workshop ( Program / Streaming: The Future of Random Projections : a mini-workshop on December 22nd. 

This past month we featured a few papers, had a Paris Machine Learning meetup, some videos and a few jobs. Enjoy !

• Lectures on Randomized Numerical Linear Algebra by Petros Drineas and Michael Mahoney
• The Case for Learned Index Structures
• Compressive 3D ultrasound imaging using a single sensor

Paris Machine Learning meetup

• Ce soir Paris Machine Learning Meetup #4 Season 5: K2, Datathon ICU, Scikit-Learn, Multimedia fusion, Private Machine Learning

Videos:

• #NIPS2017 Video: "Back When We Were Young', Ali Rahimi, Ben Recht, Test of Time award for the Random Kitchen Sinks papers
• #NIPS2017 Video: "Why AI Will Make it Possible to Reprogram the Human Genome", Brendan Frey
• Saturday Morning Videos: Machine Learning Summer School, Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Tübingen, Germany
• Saturday Morning Video: Petascale Deep Learning on a Single Chip Speaker: Tapabrata Ghosh, Vathys
