    It's been 4 years since the inception of ML Collective. Through 500+ events, we nurtured ML researchers around the world. We've been operating w/o formally raising any money, but people's awareness and kindness. Today, we finally set up a donation page to help us do better.

    8 researchers from Nigeria got accepted into Deep Learning Indaba @DeepIndaba but couldn't afford the trip. Access to research, mentorship, and networking opportunities like this is vital for early-stage researchers. You can help make their trips possible!

    What's next after open-source and open-access? We believe it's *open collaboration*. The field is fairer, more inviting, diverse and inclusive only when we make mentorship and collaborators accessible. But how? We are discussing it on Tue at #NeurIPS2020: mlcollective.org/neurips-2020-o…

    Anyone in need of a workstation for research? A lab member has generously donated a workstation (specs below). “I bought this machine during my Ph.D. as I didn't have computing resources. I suppose there will be some students who might still be facing similar problems as mine.”

    We had an impromptu hangout at @DeepIndaba ! This is us: ~30 Nigerian students (who rode a 20h bus to Accra) with @savvyRL all shouting "M-L-C!!" (which turns out to work better than "cheese") #Indaba2023 @abrahamowos @_busayo_awobade
