NY-MLR

New York Machine Learning Research Guild

An informal machine-learning research community in New York. Monthly colloquia, trading ideas, and working on research together. Open to anyone with a sincere interest with the will to do Great Work.

Colloquia & Events

Come to learn about the latest in research, and to share about your whacky ideas. Of course, meeting the others, putting faces to names, and talking shop is part of the fun.

  • Food and drinks are provided.
  • Seats are limited by room capacity, so reserve one on Luma before you come.
  • Signed up but can't make it? Cancel on Luma. It frees the seat for someone else and prevent food waste.

Culture & values

Our core guiding principles

  1. Sincere interest is enough to belong.

    Anyone genuinely curious about the field and its ideas has a place here.

  2. Collaboration comes first.

    Courtesy and respect are the baseline. Treat others as you'd want to be treated.

  3. We aim high.

    Welcoming as it is, the guild means to do work that matters.

  4. The bar is there to lift, not to shut people out.

    Standards exist to push everyone toward better work, not to gatekeep for its own sake.

  5. Give back what you were given.

    Help others grow, and yield when it's called for. That's what a community is for.

If you don't work on important problems, it's not likely that you'll do important work.Richard Hamming
