“Without engineering, science is not more than philosophy”     —     the community

How do we enable better Science? Why do we do software …

MLOSS 2015: wising up to building open-source machine learning

Note

The 2015 edition of the machine learning open source software (MLOSS) workshop was full of very mature discussions that I strive to report here.

I give links to the videos. Some machine-learning researchers have great thoughts about growing communities of coders, about code as a process and a deliverable …

MLOSS: machine learning open source software workshop @ ICML 2015

Note

This year again we will have an exciting workshop on the leading-edge machine-learning open-source software. This subject is central to many, because software is how we propagate, reuse, and apply progress in machine learning.

Want to present a project? The deadline for the call for papers is Apr 28th …
