Transylvanian Machine Learning Summer School

Our institute supported, as partner, the first edition of the Transylvanian Machine Learning Summer School (TMLSS), which took place in Cluj, Transylvania, Romania in July 16-22, 2018. The focus of school was on Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning. The school was organized by machine learning researchers from DeepMind (Răzvan Pașcanu, Viorica Pătrăucean), Romanian Institute of Science and Technology (Luigi Malagò, Răzvan Florian), and McGill University & DeepMind (Doina Precup).

The latest neuromorphic chip launched by Intel implements learning rules developed at the Romanian Institute of Science and Technology

The Loihi chip implements in hardware “synaptic eligibility traces”, components of a learning rule developed by RIST’s Răzvan Florian, which allow the implementation of this learning rule on the chip.
