Machine Learning Study Group

Welcome! We start at 4:00, and go for 40 minutes. New members are always welcome and anyone can join. You may attend any or all sessions. Feel free to ask to be removed from the invite list at any time, as we have no wish to send unneeded emails which we all certainly get too many of.

 

Agenda & Minutes

 

Welcome to the 82nd meeting, Sept. 29, 2023

•  Today: BL proposal defense at a different videoconference link. See the calendar entry for the link.
  
• Next week: We will be in "week" 2 of the 3-week quasi-cycle (which consists of reading in week 1, and HuggingFace labs in weeks 2 and 3, interspersed with weeks with other activities, like next week's proposal). This means we will do a Huggingface lab. Then we will do more on it in week 3, next time.
• The week after that - week 3 of our quasi-cycle with more on the HuggingFace lab we've been working through.
  

• Status of the threads of activity:
• Here is where we are with the Huggingface lab exercises:
• To continue with the Huggingface lab program, last time we got up to the section "Mask Filling" in chapter 1,  part 3, https://huggingface.co/learn/nlp-course/chapter1/3?fw=tf. We can start with that next time we do it, reading about it briefly and then trying it in the running code window.
  

• Readings: We will discuss the top ranked item from the page of evaluated items next time we do readings.
