** Call for Abstract and Invitation **
The BayLearn Symposium is an annual gathering of machine learning scientists from the San Francisco Bay Area. While it promotes community building between local researchers from academic and industrial institutions, it also welcomes visitors. This one-day event combines
invited talks, contributed talks and posters to foster exchange of ideas. This year, we’re very happy to have four great invited speakers: Geoff Hinton, Chris Manning, Kevin Murphy and Ben Recht.
