MLRG - SUMMER 2007

Welcome to the Machine Learning Reading Group at Brown University. We will meet Wednesdays at 1pm in the CIT library (on floor 4).

MLRG meetings and other news are announced via posts to the ML-READING-GROUP list. You can subscribe at listserv.brown.edu. The MLRG leader this (inter)mester is Micha Elsner.

Since summer is more laid-back and informal, we will be having a series of 'clinic' sessions in which one member presents a research problem and we discuss various proposed solutions. If you have an ongoing or just-completed project involving machine learning, please offer to lead a session!
