Welcome to our Big Data and Machine Learning Seminar! Each week, we invite a researcher to give a talk on the latest advancement in big data and machine learning. Questions, as well as open discussions, are welcome in the seminar.
Everyone is encouraged to sign-up for the presentations! Please email Yuan Cao (yuancao@g.ucla.edu) or Sunipa Dev (sunipadev@gmail.com) the topic you would like to present beforehand if you are interested. The topic ideally is related to “Data mining and Machine Learning”. Here is a google doc for the syllabus of our Big Data and Machine Learning Seminar where you can find the date and topic for the registered presentations.
