launch of ELLIS

The European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS) is a network (inspired by the Canadian LMB CIFAR network ) that has been recently created to keep European research in artificial intelligence and machine learning at the forefront, to keep up with North America and China where the AI investments are far superior. It has currently 30 units and will be officially launched this Tuesday, 15 September with live streaming. (I am part of the Paris Ellis Unit, directed by Gabiel Peyré.) It also organizes PhD and postdoc exchange programs.
