Online event

A one-hour online session from AI Office Hours that derives mean squared error from probability theory instead of presenting it as a rule to memorise. The host traces how a Gaussian likelihood assumption produces MSE, what minimising squared error actually does under the hood, and why the loss landscape looks less arbitrary once framed that way. It is pitched at people with basic machine learning familiarity, and the format is interactive rather than a lecture, with questions expected throughout.
