Location: IGI-seminar room,
Inffeldgasse 16b/I, 8010 Graz Date: starting from
October 10, 2006 every Tuesday,
14.00 - 17.00 p.m.
Content of the seminar:
We will discuss in this seminar review papers and research results on
two topics:
1. Computing and learning in dynamical systems (including models for
circuits in the brain) with spontaneous activity
2. Learning methods in robotics.
Those among the papers listed below that are not publicly available,
can be found in our
pdf-archive (students who are not working at our institute can get a
copy
from Angelika Zehetner angelika.zehetner@igi.tugraz.at).
