Something I really enjoy with conferences is learning about mathematical problems directly from people working on solving them. During the week end, I heard about the vertex p-center problem, and loved it. I'm looking forward to the next few days of learning at #IJCAI2021

My pleasure to share our tutorial at #IJCAI2021 on the topic titled "Neural machine reasoning" — the area that attempts to push the area of deep learning toward high-level cognition function of reasoning.

The tutorial is co-deliv…https://t.co/B6LmI70tcM https://t.co/Gx7lrvCbin
