Join the community and take part in shaping the future!
Machine Learning (ML) is undeniably at the cutting edge of technological advancement today. ML tools are already influencing contemporary society, and they are believed to have the potential to drive revolutionary changes in both research and everyday life by transforming a wide range of fields, including healthcare, cybersecurity, and transportation.
Given its capacity to create such profound impact, it is essential for all segments of society to participate in its development. However, multiple groups are currently underrepresented within the field, including women and non-binary groups. The primary goal of the “Women in Machine Learning Workshop – Join the community and take part in shaping the future!” is to help reduce this gender imbalance.
The workshop aims to bring together both beginners and experts to connect, gain inspiration, and deepen their understanding of machine learning and the ongoing research in the field. It is a lunch-to-lunch event that includes talks by leading female researchers and industry representatives, as well as a tutorial and discussion session.
When and where?
Dates: November 21st-22nd, 2024
Location: Linköping University (LiU), Linköping.
The main venue is lecture hall Ada Lovelace at Linköping University (Linköping University, Campus Valla, House B, Floor 2. Link to map.
Who can participate?
The workshop is targeted towards those working within or interested in the field of machine learning, aiming to make it more gender balanced. We encourage participation from underrepresented gender groups.
The workshop is focussed on PhD students, early-career industry professionals interested in research, and master’s students in technical disciplines. Participants are advised to have at least an introductory understanding of machine learning, such as having completed a foundational course on the subject.
