MWL Reading Group

We’re reading research papers about various topics in machine learning and artificial intelligence. Meetings will be informal, reading-group style with one or two people assigned to lead a discussion about the readings.

We’re meeting on Thursdays at 5:00 PM during Spring Quarter.
