The setting is informal, chalkboard-focused (with optional slides), and interruptions are encouraged. Topics can range from rough ideas to finished research, with the assumption that the audience is at the level of a graduate student who has some knowledge of how typical ML methods work. To see a weekly schedule of seminars, see https://dwh.gg/MLCT For those wondering, What is the Style of the Talk? A useful talk should be research-level-oriented, with a strong emphasis on explicit mathematical explanations and interpretations of machine learning methods. The focus should be on methodological insights rather than just presenting results, with a particular interest in understanding why methods succeed or fail. If there are tutorials, they should go beyond basic introductions, offering deeper, pedagogical insights.
