Doctoral Students Presentation
Posted by Juan-Pablo Caceres on March 24th, 2009

We'll have some guest students presenting an overview of their work. The idea is to give students in the class an idea of the kind of research that's happening among colleagues. Some of these projects started during a 220C class:

  • Thursday April 2, 10:00-10:30am: Rob Hamilton—"Q3OSC OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE GAME"
  • Tuesday April 7, 11:00-11:30am: Gautham Mysore—"Probabilistic Audio Models"
