CLRC Events

The CLRC has played host to a number of events over the years. With access to all of the College's excellent facilities - lecture rooms and visual aids, as well as the College catering services - we are able to organise anything from small seminars with invited speakers to all day events.

The Annual Kolmogorov Lecture

The Computer Learning Research Centre presents an annual lecture series commemorating the life and work of the highly influential mathematician Andrei Kolmogorov.The lecture addresses current issues arising from the impact of Kolmogorov’s work in the fields of mathematical and computer science.Each Kolmogorov Lecture is given by one of the leading figures in their field, who is presented with a medal in recognition of their own contribution to science. Coming up to its fourth year, the series has been a great success, drawing participants from academia and industry and leading to publications in the BCS "Computer Journal".

Further information on the lectures can be found on the Kolmogorov Lecture and Medal webpages.

Past Events

• In 1998, members of the CLRC met to present the colloquia "Computational Intelligence: The Importance of Being Learnable" to the RHUL Computer Science Department. This was the third event in a series of three to celebrate the Department's 30th Anniversary.


• Professors Alex Gammermand and Vladimir Vovk presented their paper "Hedging Predictions in Machine Learning" at the 2nd Computer Journal Lecture, which was held at BCS, Southampton Street, London, on Monday, 12 June 2006. The discussants included Alexey Chervonenkis, Glenn Shafer, Xiao Hui Liu and many others.
