4/10/26: LLMs and Randomized Algorithms

Artificial Intelligence Study Group

Welcome! We meet from 4:00-4:45 p.m. Central Time on Fridays. Anyone can join. Feel free to attend any or all sessions, or ask to be added to the invite list - or removed as we have no wish to send unneeded emails of which we all certainly get too many.

Contacts: jdberleant@ualr.edu and mgmilanova@ualr.edu
