I am happy to announce that I will be doing a TED talk in the Slovak National Theatre, Bratislava. This will be the very first TED talk on GPU computing and its application to cognitive robotics. I am preparing something really cool and inspirational as this will be a great opportunity to reach approximately 1,000 people who will attend the event and later thousands more people online. The talk will be in my mother tongue (Slovakian) but the video will be later subtitled in different languages. If you happen to understand Slovakian then see the picture below, which was used on TED Bratislava Facebook page to introduce my profile. If you do not speak Slovakian then the picture basically says that I am specialising in parallel computing and that I have previously collaborated with European Space Agency and work at NVIDIA. It also mentions that I am currently working at Cortexica at Imperial College London where we are developing biologically inspired visual search system. The profile is now also published on TEDx Bratislava. Stay tuned… 🙂
