CS Graduate Student Machine Learning Reading Group

In this reading group we present talks on topics related to Machine Learning, Computer Vision, topics beyond standard classroom setting or original research. It is meant to be a friendly, slightly informal environment where questions are encouraged at all points throught the talk. If you are interested in leading a discussion on a topic or giving a talk please email at cjtonde [at] cs [dot] rutgers [dot] edu.
