Description

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have been very much in the news. However, most stories about AI do not give much idea of the mechanisms which make them work. Rather than trying to give a full explanation of their inner workings, Metzler focuses on how a few key mathematical ideas–some over a century old–are crucial to the process.

David Metzler specializes in stimulating lectures on math topics. He holds a BA in mathematics from Rice University and a PhD in mathematics from MIT. He has taught at Rice University and the University of Florida and currently teaches at Albuquerque Academy.
