Deep Learning: Classics and Trends

Deep Learning: Classics and Trends (DLCT) is the longest running MLC event. It started in 2018 as a paper reading group and has almost never missed a week since. The vibe is interactive, causal, free-flow and unfettered. Subscribe with your email to get notified weekly.

Research Jams

The Research Jam is a research lab meeting open to all. Anyone is welcome to share small updates on what they're working on, or present an idea as a Request for Plot (RFP). All of our jams are recorded and shared on our YouTube Channel. Curious to know more? Read "What to expect when you are expecting a research jam."

Conference Socials

We host Open Collaboration Socials at major ML conferences. During our inaugural event at NeurIPS 2020, we held a panel discussion on the importance of collaboration, an icebreaker session to randomly match people to meet and greet, and a gather.town hangout with focused topics led by pioneers of the field. We are always looking for co-organizers for our conference social.
