DESCRIPTION:This week's meeting is the first towards the long term goal of
  reading E. T. Jaynes' "Probability Theory\, the Logic of Science". \n\nTh
 e ML Book Reading Club is a group effort to read through\, understand and 
 take away as much as possible from a series of seminal books on the subjec
 ts of Machine Learning\, Probability\, Information Theory and Neuroscience
 . We successfully made our way through Chris Bishop's "Pattern Recognition
  and Machine Learning" over the summer 2008. Jaynes' book will last us unt
 il ca. Easter 2009 and will be followed by Dayan's and Abbot's "Theoretica
 l Neuroscience" and David MacKay's "Information Theory\, Inference and Lea
 rning Algorithms".\n\nIf you are interested in the reading club but cannot
  make this date\, please write to the organiser. We will try to accommodat
 e people's timetables as far as possible.\n\nIf you would like to attend\,
  please bring along a copy of the book. Everyone attending will be expecte
 d to have read chapter 1 (to page 23).\n\n_Please note the change of venue
 . If you do not know where the new room is\, there will be someone waiting
  at the TCM seminar room (the usual venue) to pick you up about 5 minutes 
 before the group starts._
