BLISS AI Speaker Series: Algorithmic Geometry of Flexible Cognition in Brains and AI — Ida Momennejad

A 45-minute research talk from the BLISS AI Speaker Series, with Ida Momennejad, Principal Researcher at Microsoft, on the algorithmic geometry of flexible cognition: the structures that let brains and models handle situations they were never trained on. Hosted by BLISS Berlin e.V. at TU Berlin's chemistry institute on Straße des 17. Juni. Talk first, then open discussion with Berlin's machine-learning community over free drinks and pizza. Aimed at students, PhD candidates, academic researchers and industry people doing ML research. RSVP on Luma is required for entry and doors close at 19:15. Photography may take place. Why go: Momennejad works across neuroscience and reinforcement learning, a rarer combination than the usual brains-and-AI framing delivers. Best for researchers in RL, cognitive science or evaluation, and it is the one substantial tech room in Berlin that week.
