MIT 6.5940: TinyML and Efficient Deep Learning Computing

Re:MIT 6.5940: TinyML and Efficient Deep Learning Computing by tysam_and on Saturday September 23, 2023 @02:28AM (#37621035)

I'm curious if anyone knows people who would help me bring some efficient ML project work I've done to spheres like Africa. I've visited a couple times and loved being there so much, but definitely feel extremely disjoint from that part of the world. It would be really nice to me to help make some of those connections. <3 :'))))

Could you write to a university near where you’d like to work and ask them for some advice too?

I think you may have replied to the wrong comment (I might be misunderstanding, however).

I think the suggestion is to try to collaborate with local universities. From experience, a lot of research/fieldwork in Africa is only practical with local experts and communities.

Also look into attending or supporting the next Deep Learning Indaba. This year has just finished I think. It's one of the largest African ML communities and they have a mentorship program.
