ICML 2015 and Machine Learning Research at Google

This week, Lille, France hosts the 2015 International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2015), a premier annual Machine Learning event supported by the International Machine Learning Society (IMLS). As a leader in Machine Learning research, Google will have a strong presence at ICML 2015, with many Googlers publishing work and hosting workshops. If you’re attending, we hope you’ll visit the Google booth and talk with the Googlers to learn more about the hard work, creativity and fun that goes into solving interesting ML problems that impacts millions of people. You can also learn more about our research being presented at ICML 2015 in the list below (Googlers highlighted in blue).

Google is a Platinum Sponsor of ICML 2015.
