Season 1 - Episode 04: Energy functions and shortcut learning

This week we are joined by Kyunghyun Cho. He is an associate professor of computer science and data science at New York University, a research scientist at Facebook AI Research and a CIFAR Associate Fellow. On top of this he also co-chaired the recent ICLR 2020 virtual conference.

We talk about a variety of topics in this weeks episode including the recent ICLR conference, energy functions, shortcut learning and the roles popularized Deep Learning research areas play in answering the question “What is Intelligence?”.
