Machine Learning Reading Group
Fall 2011
Welcome to the Machine Learning Reading Group at Brown University. We meet in the CIT 3rd Floor Atrium on most Thursdays a 11:00am and are open to all students and faculty. (If you can't make this time, please email the group leader.) MLRG meetings and other news are announced via posts to the ML-READING-GROUP list. You can subscribe here. The MLRG leader this semester is Jason Pacheco. If you have an ongoing or just-completed project involving machine learning, please offer to lead a session!
