ML@FI Seminar Series

ML@FI is a seminar series focused on machine learning and its applications to science. It is aimed at Flatiron Institute research scientists and our collaborators. Seminars usually take place on every other Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. Each seminar is followed by a reception to encourage intercenter interactions.

For more information, to join the seminar mailing list or to propose speakers for future seminars, please contact the organizers: Shirley Ho, Alberto Bietti, and Francois Lanusse.
