Yesterday, I attended the NYU's Future Labs AI Summit event. Frankly, it wasn't what I expected. Most of the "more technical" talks were very superficial on the state of the art: very little in depth details on any specific research. The other talks were focused on the world of start ups focused on AI/Machine Learning based in NYC. I think it was best suited for venture capitalists who wanted to take the afternoon off from work. 😉
The one slide I found interesting Yann LeCun's discussion on reinforcement learning used for Star Craft. During his talk, he asserted the future of machine learning is in unsupervised learning. [Mic drop]
