Sixth Annual Workshop for Women in Machine Learning, Granada, Spain
12 December 2011 - 12 December 2011
Spain
The Sixth Annual Workshop for Women in Machine Learning will take place on 12 December 2011 in Granada, Spain.
From recommender systems to automated mail sorting, technologies using machine learning are increasingly prevalent in our day-to-day lives. Recent developments have enabled advances in fields as varied as personalized medicine, search engines, and robotics. At its core, machine learning is the science of managing information: finding patterns, building models, making decisions.
Despite its growing importance, the percent of female researchers in machine learning remains low, the percent of minority women even lower. The event will be an opportunity for:
- one-to-one mentoring match up where participants can meet up with a mentor during a mutually convenient time;
- participate in career-focused panel discussions with senior women in industry and academia;
- present research in a friendly, positive environment with critical feedback;
- hear technical presentations on the work of senior women in their field;
- network and exchange ideas with each other and senior female researchers.For further information, please visit: http://www.wimlworkshop.org/(opens in new window)
