Yesterday was the culmination of many months of planning for the annual Women in Machine Learning workshop. I think it will easily be my favorite part of being up in Montreal for the duration of NIPS 2014.
We had an amazing program; our invited speakers were Carla Brodley, Tina Eliassi-Rad, Diane Hu, and Claudia Perlich with Finale Doshi-Velez giving our opening remarks. Our student oral presentations were thought provoking, and the breadth of our poster session was immense. Corporate sponsors sent great representatives, and the round table mentoring session enabled some amazing discussions. I feel like I can through positive adjectives at basically any aspect of the event, from our volunteers to the food.
I loved working with my fellow organizers Marzyeh Ghassemi, Sarah Brown, and Jessica Thompson. It was an amazing experience and I'm very glad to have had this opportunity.
