MLAPP Reading Group of 2024 Spring 2024年春季第二届“斛兵”机器学习读书会

Introduction 介绍

MLAPP reading group is for HFUT junior students to spend a semester to read the MLAPP book. We believe it is imperative to get a general and deep understanding of machine learning. We will embrace a student-led reporting approach with tutor guidance and review, enabling us to grasp cutting-edge knowledge in machine learning and related fields at an accelerated pace, surpassing the foundational content of an undergraduate machine learning course.

“斛兵”机器学习读书会是供合肥工业大学的机器学习领域的入门学生系统的一个学期内学习完毕《概率机器学习》这本书，这对于更好更广泛的理解机器学习至关重要。我们将采用学生主导并汇报、导师指导点评的方式，并以远快于本科机器学习基础课程的速度学习机器学习及相关领域的前沿知识。

After completing the reading group, you will basically have the foundation to engage in artificial intelligence-related scientific research.

学成之后将基本具备从事人工智能相关科研的基础。

The best presenters will receive awards and small gifts from Dean Richang Hong! Stay tuned!

最佳报告人将会获得洪院长颁发的奖品，敬请期待！

We have finished the reading group meeting of 2023! See this news in Chinese.

第一届2023年春季学习读书会圆满完成并为最佳报告人颁奖！请查看新闻稿。
