The Tea Time Talks are a series of talks primarily given by the faculty and students studying Reinforcement Learning and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Alberta. Everyone is welcome to attend!

The 2024 talks will commence on June 18th and continue through the end of August. These sessions are scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 4:15 PM to 4:45 PM MT. The talks will be held in various locations, including CSC 3-33 and CSC B-10 at the University of Alberta and the event space on the 2nd floor of Amii (10065 Jasper Ave). If you are unable to attend in person, you may access the talks using Zoom. If joining via Zoom, please be aware that the talks may be recorded and later uploaded to the Amii Intelligence YouTube channel. Before joining a talk, ensure that you have checked your Zoom privacy settings.

Code of Conduct
The purpose of these talks is to give junior researchers an opportunity to present their on-going work. The attitude should be the one of collaboration when asking questions. Questions during the talk should primarily be about minor clarifications. Broader discussions about the overall line of research and larger confusions are best reserved for the Q&A session. Doing so ensures that we allow the speaker to execute their planned talk with-in the allotted 20 minutes. Any feedback about style or structure of the talk can be shared privately afterwards.
