Lightning Talks:

We would like to have three 5-minute talks + 1 minute Q&A. This can simply be an introduction to the group about who you are and what you work on, or you can cover some aspect of Machine Learning or Data Science that you find interesting. This is open to everyone and we encourage people of all skill levels to give a talk. It's a great way to introduce yourself to the group!

So grab a spot HERE (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Zokp3smdGn82QzFXnzsu3xQ28V81us6EfoQ7FQy5icA/viewform) and tell us more about what you are passionate about and the awesome things you are working on.
