Thanks for the kind words Fergal. This was very heartening to hear! The reaction to the talk has been relatively light, so far. However, it's a highly niche topic and I haven't really introduced it to people who are looking into applications of machine learning. People have said that they've learned a lot and have been quite positive though.
I'm sure that there will be many more meetup talks given, especially as people being to craft tools from their CLA models.
