RBC Borealis hit the road (OK the air. Specifically, Porter air) on Wednesday evening to bring a bit of Toronto AI to La Belle Ville

Along with NextAI, Creative Destruction Lab, and the Vector Institute, RBC Borealis hosted an “AI in Toronto” Happy Hour for students attending this week’s MILA Deep Learning Summer School at the Université de Montreal.

Students got a chance to recalibrate after a packed day with complimentary drinks and appetizers at the St. Houblon Cote de Neiges bar, a popular spot near campus. Guests mingled with fellow students and reps from the co-hosting organizations, who each gave a two-minute spiel about the many amazing post-graduate AI career opportunities in Toronto and Edmonton.

Mostly, however, it was a chance for our small but mighty community to come together, talk vectors, and make jokes about things using words like “variance” and “adversarial”. It was also the sort of event that required an effort to usher the partygoers back to their dorms at the evening’s end, the sign of a community that understands the best way to prepare their own neural networks for another full day of learning is by staying up really late to consume free chicken wings and beer.
