December 15 – 17, 2022 | IIT Gandhinagar
The Third Indian Symposium on Machine Learning (IndoML) will be hosted by the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) between 15-17 December 2022. The symposium aims to be a forum to discuss state-of-the-art ML research through invited talks from leading experts within India and abroad. IndoML fosters mentoring of Indian Ph.D./Master students to network with their peers, seek expert guidance and develop early-stage collaborations.
IndoML aims to provide an opportunity for the faculty to engage with leading research groups in the country and conduct high-quality research leading to competitive publications. It will also provide a platform for industrial partners, including startups, working in ML-related areas to showcase their products and receive reviews/feedback as well as setup potential collaborations.
