Thank you for your interest in leading a discussion (e.g., getting feedback on an ongoing project or discussing a paper) or presenting a demo at the monthly ML+Coffee event! Use this form to sign up for the 2025 spring series, held on Wednesdays from 9-11 AM CT on 2/12, 3/5, 4/2, and 5/7, in Rm. 1145 of the Discovery Building.
Event summary and audience: ML+Coffee offers a supportive and casual environment to discuss ongoing machine learning (ML) projects and share knowledge & tools across campus. Whether you're looking for advice on applying ML/AI to your data, hoping to demo a favorite tool, or interested in discussing an ML/AI paper, ML+Coffee offers the perfect space. All backgrounds and experience levels are welcome. The majority of our attendees are applied practitioners wrestling with their own projects, not AI/ML purists looking to critique. We maintain a collaborative and supportive environment. Coffee provided ☕ to keep the ideas flowing, courtesy of our sponsors.
Preparation: No formal presentation is required—this event prioritizes open dialogue and casual discussion over formal presentations. If helpful, you’re welcome to bring a couple of slides (e.g., to share data or an analysis pipeline, recap paper highlights, etc.). Many participants just bring a few key points or a rough overview of their work, and the conversation flows naturally from there. Your work doesn't need to be perfect or fully refined—most people share projects that are still in progress, and that's completely okay.
