| The Machine
Learning Lab meets once per week to read papers and to discuss recent
research. Our meetings are open to anyone who wishes to attend.
For Fall 2007, lab lunch meetings are on Thursdays from 1:00-2:15 in the Computer Science Building, room 243. The Machine Learning and Friends Lunch is a separate weekly meeting on machine learning that is run by Andrew McCallum. Each week, a speaker gives a one hour talk on some topic in machine learning (defined broadly). These lunches are always open to anyone. |
