Dear colleagues,
After a summer break, the 2022 Lecture Series of the Austrian Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence (OFAI) resumes this week. We warmly welcome everyone to attend the online talks, free of charge and without advance registration.
Most lectures will take place on Wednesdays at 18:30 Central European (Summer) Time. All lectures will be held online via Zoom; in-person attendance at OFAI Headquarters in Vienna is also possible for certain lectures. Note that some talk details have changed since our initial announcement back in June -- please see the revised schedule below.
Visit https://www.ofai.at/lectures for full details, including talk abstracts and connection details. You can also sign up for our newsletter at https://www.ofai.at/newsletter.html to get e-mail notifications about the individual talks (and future OFAI events).
Sincerely, Tristan Miller
