Student Organizations

It's no secret that we are in the heat of an AI summer and things are only heating up. In the AI Club at KSU, we learn to work with one another on energizing problems at our own pace and get acquainted with the state-of-the-art methods. We will explore topics such as Reinforcement Learning in sandbox environments, time series forecasting, natural language processing, and hopefully partner with other RSO's to work on the intersection of computer vision and control theory.
