The "Machine Learning Summer School" lecture series is happening now at UT Austin - I made the call to catch up with family over my winter break rather than attending, but the lecture slides from the presentations look super interesting. Judging from the slides, this lecture must have been particularly awesome, though the slides from the Sutton lecture are interesting as well.
Here is the link to the schedule of speakers, along with the slides that have been posted so far[1]. If anyone in attendance has comments about how the series has been in person, I'd be quite happy to hear details.
