About us
San Diego Machine Learning is an active group for AI & data science education and networking. We are machine learning practitioners, students, and enthusiasts who want to get together to share, discuss and try various techniques -- and possibly hack on the occasional challenge. We have a wide range of experience levels with machine learning either through work, school or personal exploration. We currently have a monthly papers & lightning talks event, book clubs, project time, networking, and a mix of other ML events. Everyone is welcome!
For more information about our AI talks and ML book club, please visit our GitHub repositories: https://github.com/SanDiegoMachineLearning/talks and https://github.com/SanDiegoMachineLearning/bookclub

Join us for a guided tour through the intuition behind transformer and attention mechanisms. This talk will attempt to describe how transformers and attention work.
