The Meetings Well & Alive
This October, the Mercure Figeac Viguier du Roy invites curious minds to two talks covering very different subjects. Artificial intelligence and the history of Rome: two events to understand, discover and exchange ideas.
Deep learning on RNAs is at the heart of AI. How does it work? From predictive analytics to agent-based systems, where do we stand?
Artificial intelligence is evolving at a spectacular pace. But what really lies behind the way it works?
Thierry Simon sets out to explain the mechanisms behind deep learning and artificial neural networks, which lie at the heart of today’s artificial intelligence.
From predictive AI to new agent-based systems, this conference will provide a better understanding of the major developments currently underway and take stock of the capabilities of these technologies.
A session to gain a better understanding of AI, its workings and the changes currently taking place.
The Popes and Rome: 2,000 years of history
Behind the history of the popes lies the history of a city: Rome. For nearly two thousand years, its monuments, palaces, churches and institutions have borne the mark of the sovereign pontiffs who have governed, shaped and profoundly transformed it.
From Sylvester and Constantine to Gregory the Great, from the Avignon Papacy to the heyday of the Renaissance and the Baroque era, right through to Pius IX and the end of the Papal States, Bernard Berthod invites us on a journey through nearly twenty centuries of history.
This lecture will provide a better understanding of the close bond that links the papacy to the Eternal City and the way in which, century after century, the popes have shaped Rome.
A meeting inspired by Bernard Berthod’s special connection with Rome. Founder of the association in 1980 Roman Encounters, he also worked for seventeen years in the service of the Holy See.
To understand the popes is also to understand Rome and the unique face it presents to us today.
