10th Annual Workshop for Women in Machine Learning
Machine learning is one of the fastest growing areas of computer science research. Search engines, face recognition, DNA sequence analysis, speech and handwriting recognition, credit card fraud detection, premature baby monitoring and autonomous locomotion are just some of the applications in which machine learning is routinely used.
In spite of the wide reach of machine learning and the variety of theory and applications it covers, the percentage of female researchers is lower than in many other areas of computer science. Most women working in machine learning rarely get the chance to interact with other female researchers, making it easy to feel isolated and hard to find role models.
This day-long technical workshop gives female faculty, research scientists, and graduate students in the machine learning community an opportunity to meet, exchange ideas and learn from each other. Underrepresented minorities and undergraduates interested in machine learning research are encouraged to present their work and attend.
The workshop is co-located with NIPS, in Montreal, Canada on December 7, 2015. For more information about the 2014 WiML workshop, please visit this site.
The WiML organization keeps a (necessarily incomplete) list of women active in machine learning. Please check out this directory for more information.
