What we’re about

West Coast Machine Learning is a meetup group dedicated to exploring the exciting world of machine learning! Our group of techies is passionate about deep learning, neural networks, computer vision, tiny ML, and other cool geeky machine learning topics. We love to dive deep into the technical details and stay up-to-date with the latest research developments. Our Meetup group and YouTube channel are the perfect place to connect with other like-minded individuals who share your love of machine learning. We offer a mix of research paper discussions, coding reviews, and other data science topics. So if you're looking to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in machine learning, connect with other techies, and learn something new, be sure to subscribe to our channel and join our Meetup community today!

Fri, May 2, 2025, 1:30 AM UTCBiology of LLMs - Part 2
Link visible for attendees
In this meetup, we continue our discussion of Anthropic's "Biology of LLMs". This is part 2 of our deep dive into this fascinating document on how LLMs work. Our goal is to understand how to "reverse engineer how these models work on the inside, so we may better understand them and assess their fitness for purpose". And is based on https://transformer-circuits.pub/2025/attribution-graphs/biology.html

---------------------------------------------
Every week we meet (virtually) and discuss the most interesting topics in AI, ML and Deep Learning.
We usually rotate weeks so that every other week one of the members presents a deep learning/machine learning paper, frequently paired with a video explaining the concepts. In the off weeks, we present information about different projects. We cover computer vision, language (LLM's), health/hard science and generative models (Diffusion, GAN's etc.).
People of all levels of skill are welcome--from newbies to machine learning, to PhD's in DL/ML/AI.
We have been meeting for over 6 years weekly and have developed a neat pace and community--and all are welcome. Come join us and stay abreast of the biggest topics in Artificial Intelligence.
