Computer Science

[close] A community of people who want to engage with topics spanning across physics, mathematics, computation, biology, chaos and complexity theory, cognitive sciences (artificial intelligence, neuroscience, psychology), philosophy of science (and other areas at intersectional crossroads) at a more robust level than popular expositions that are intended for a broader audience. Every member ought to have the enthusiasm and will to work through difficult texts (and solving exercises, if needed!) This implies that the selection of books that are more formal in the treatment of their subject matter will be prioritized over those that shy away from complications, but doesn't necessarily exclude anything apriori. On the other hand, we want to pick up those having relevance in addressing fundamental questions rather than digging down the rabbit hole for extremely niche curiosities.

[close] We're a new book club looking to learn and help learn all things programming and computer science related.

[close] For choosing a new book to read.

[close] Welcome! Enrolled in Machine Learning, or at least interested in the future of artificial intelligence? Discover and discuss a variety of both fiction and non-fiction books that are at least loosely relevant. Books: https://www.goodreads.com/group/bookshelf/195257-machine-learning-book-club Click either "about" or "view activity" to see the motivation for adding this book to the club. Mobile: to view the book selections on the mobile Goodreads app, the group bookshelf doesn't work very well - you may need to use a browser. E-meetings: If enough people are game, we could begin e-meeting on google hangouts to discuss the books. Please speak up if you would like to participate in e-book club meetings!
