Yann LeCun: Predictive Learning, The Next Frontier in A.I. |Nokia Bell Labs

Yann LeCun, director of Artificial Intelligence Research at Facebook and Silver Professor of Data Science, Computer Science, Neural Science, and Electrical Engineering at New York University and former Bell Labs researcher presented at the Shannon Luminary Lecture series. Building from the Claude Shannon Centennial Conference lectures this series is comprised of speakers who are luminaries in a wide diversity of fields and will share their perspective on the most important technologies, science, engineering, mathematics – and even more aesthetic matters – that will transform human existence in the next decades.

LeCun spoke about his research in his presentation "Predictive Learning: The Next Frontier in A.I.". His work in convolutional neural networks has revolutionized the fields of image analysis, speech recognition, and language translation. As a recognized visionary, LeCun's research promises to bring great advances in artificial intelligence and the augmentation of human ability.
