ML Collective (MLC) is an independent, non-profit organization with a mission to make machine learning (ML) research opportunities, including collaboration and mentorship opportunities accessible and free for all.

We execute our mission via two broad efforts: (1) community building, with open platforms that allow people to connect and collaborate, governed by recurring events and meetups that provide a structure for growth; and (2) research training, where we adopt a peer-mentoring model: researchers simply come on their own accord and meet on a regular cadence to help move projects forward.

MLC can be a "research home" for you regardless of your affiliation, employer, or background.
