Ambitions? Ways to explore further?
- specific components of Neural Networks 

• - backprop
• - LSTM
• - Deep Learning book as context
• - linear algebra

- do we focus on ML broadly, or specifically on NN?
- Tensorflow is unavoidable, or another framework, in order to see what happens if you work with a working model

• - book on Tensorflow as introduction: accessible is Sam Abrahams, Danijar Hafner, Erik Erwitt, Ariel Scarpinelli - TensorFlow for Machine Intelligence: A Hands-On Introduction to Learning Algorithms http://gen.lib.rus.ec/book/index.php?md5=7C4333E23A6BF64508F7C848E13CE5FB
• Machine Learning for Artists: https://ml4a.github.io/

- playful recipes, hands-on
- focus on uncertainty
- interest in how these exercises can feed into another context

• - an example: forensic research with ML applied to comments (FCC, net neutrality), looking for similar comments, in order to detect bots
• - ways to apply exercises, ways to connect

- reading outside Algolit, using sessions for another work-mode
- collaborating with an expert who is following the professional field

Algolit @ Varia Rotterdam
confusing to present the same thing again
not as deep/poetic as we would like to, more attitude we present
no ressources: budget, time, material
organise Algolit session: way to talk to new audience in Rotterdam
2 weeks work session on ML in Art Academy

Friday 16 - Intro Algolit, XPUB students, lecture Marloes
Saturday 17 - Algolit session

On the topic of Word2Vec
With the 'Superficial Intelligence' zine in mind
