PS: Here's the current schedule (all times GMT/BST); Your Organizer, Jacqueline Forien, sent the following message to some members of London Machine Learning Meetup:
Dear all, The starting time of Yoshua Bengio's Guest Talk is 18:30 sharp. It is a one hour talk followed by a Q&A session. The first 20 minute talk are broadcasted to Paris and Kiev. There is a short break after 20 minutes for a Q&A session from Paris and Kiev's audience. If you miss the first part of Yoshua Bengio's talk, you might not be able to follow the second part. We are currently working on making this event available both in Live Streaming and afterwards.
