Last week I was at Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo (Frist of America) giving several talks about Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (news articles HERE and HERE), motivating the students to learn more about these topics and showing them the potential of these algorithms. Thanks to the Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo (Primary of America), its Science Faculty, and its School of Computer Science for the invitation and all the hard work to organize these events.

A lot of very engaged students, not only from computer science, were present in my Sunday morning and Monday evening talks. From some of the pictures of the Monday talk, you can see that there were so many students that they could not fit in the room, so they set up a few TVs and speakers outside. This shows real motivation from the students to learn about these topics especially since a lot of them were standing up the whole time. Also, there were a lot of great questions from students from a wide range of fields, not only from engineering and Computer science (informatics).

I hope the students take the initiative and take advantage of all the free resources to learn about Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.
