Machine Learning Group

There is a grassroots effort in ICEAA to start a Machine Learning (ML) Working Group. We would like to get some information on how we can better support ML activities in the ICEAA community. This survey should only take a few minutes of your time and help us organize our efforts to be most effective.

Please take the survey once and answer each question to the best of your abilities. There are 19 questions in total.

We thank you for your time and input!
