SFU Machine Learning Reading Group

SFU Machine Learning Reading Group

The goal of this reading group is to survey a variety of the current trends in the areas of machine learning and statistics. We will focus on topics that are not covered in the machine learning course, and that may be applicable in a wide variety of domains. The reading group should be viewed as complimentary to the course. We meet on Wednesdays at 1:30pm in room 9408, to join the mailing list please join the Google group.

Despite the name 'reading group', there is no reading requirement in order to attend. However, each week there will be a designated presenter and we expect everyone to act as a presenter for at most one session per semester. Each week the presenter will overview background on the topic and a motivating application, will describe at a high level the contribution of a recent paper in the area, and will discuss possible future directions.
