The first video is an extract of a Swissnex sponsored seminar. The full seminar has several speakers, in particular Rolf Pfeifer (University of Zurich -uzh.ch) from the start of the video until 0:40. The second speaker is Hod Lipson who starts at 0:56 and talks for the remainder of the video. The key extract is from 1:08 to 1.16

Class papers for presentation
