The participation, response and feedback from the participants was very encouraging! The participants were very active and some of them who are using these concepts in their corporate projects had a lot of questions. We’ll keep up with having such engaging meetups on ML, and having researchers and practitioners involved in ML to discuss their work and insights. We urge other members in the Bangalore region to join/contribute in these meetups and help spread the word.
