MLRG - SUMMER 2009

Welcome to the Machine Learning Reading Group at Brown University. We meet in CIT Room 345 on some Fridays at 1pm 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 summer is Aggeliki Tsoli.

If you have an ongoing or just-completed project involving machine learning, please offer to lead a session!
