Weekly meetings to discuss recent research papers in machine learning.

About

The McGill Machine Learning Reading Group is a student-run reading group for machine learning at McGill University.

We meet weekly to discuss recent research papers in machine learning, and to learn about the latest developments in the field. We also discuss topics that may not necessarily be the most popular, but could perhaps lead to developments in society. These topics could be impactful, lucrative, or just plain interesting.

We are mainly a group of thinkers. Sometimes, we implement machine learning algorithms. Our current members encompasses students in Computer Science, Mathematics & Statistics, Biology, and Business & Finance. We welcome students from all backgrounds and levels of experience.
