ML Club Reunion: Exploring New Frontiers in Machine Learning

ML Club Live!

We're thrilled to welcome back members of the ML Club for an exciting in-person reunion centred around the latest developments and future directions in Machine Learning.

This event is perfect for networking, learning, and rekindling your passion for all things ML.

It will also signal the return of regular in-person events, with our founding organisers (Andy and co.) joining forces with Emmanuel and others who have kept the flame burning to bring you a fun community event in Glasgow's Eagle Labs!

For this edition of the meetup, we're keeping it informal and inviting practitioners and enthusiasts in machine learning and data science to introduce themselves and share projects casually. We encourage anyone interested to step up and contribute their insights to the group by giving a short lightning talk of 5’ or so. If you'd like to speak, please feel free to reach out to us at bunmieogungbemi@gmail.com.

A tentative agenda is below, but any ideas are welcome!
