Creativity and intelligence in brains and machines: from individuals to societies

During the IK, I felt “surrounded by knowledge”. The IK offers many workshops, evening talks and lectures. The programme of the IK is as interdisciplinary as are the participants. It is a unique chance to hear from many different fields, discover differences and similarities between them and get an integrated impression of the IK focus theme. I visited for example the lectures “Deep Learning to Deep Reinforcement Learning” (Razvan Pascanu, Google Deep Mind), “Animal social dynamics an evolutionary perspective” (Jennifer Fewell, Arizona State University) and “AI at the Movies” (Tony Veale, UCD Dublin). Additionally, the IK gives students the opportunity to present their actual research project or final thesis at the poster presentation. I used this chance and got helpful and diverse feedback.
