Salakhutdinov

There was an author coming up a lot in the papers I read recently; and I think more importantly, he is one of the few (if not the only one) to have worked with both Hinton and Tenenbaum (two cognitive science / machine learning researchers I love. Yes, my love stories are weird).

• Salakhutdinov Publications

I enjoyed those lectures a lot. He synthesises a lot of ideas together that are often found separately.

• Learning Hierarchical Generative Models, Pt. 1
• Learning Hierarchical Generative Models, Pt. 2

Kick-ass papers he authored/co-authored:

• Skip-Thought Vectors
• Dropout: A simple way to prevent neural networks from overfitting
• Human-level concept learning through probabilistic program induction
• Semantic Hashing
• Deep Boltzmann Machines

So much good stuff.
