CMU is a leader in the field of machine learning research, both within the Machine Learning Department (MLD) and across the university in general. Traditional conference and journal publications, along with technical talks, are our primary avenues for disseminating our research. However, given the increasing societal impact of ML, there is a growing demand to communicate our work to a broader audience, thus motivating the creation of the CMU ML Blog.

The blog aims to provide a general-audience medium for the CMU community to share cutting-edge research findings as well as perspectives on the field of machine learning, with easily digestible material that is both accessible and informative to readers with a wide range expertise. Posts are written by students, postdocs, and faculty throughout all of CMU, with blog content curated by a student-led editorial board. Our five inaugural posts over the next month will be written and edited by the editorial board, and moving forward, posts on a variety of machine learning topics will appear approximately bi-weekly.

Check out the about page for more information and the submissions page for contribution guidelines. Look for our first few posts in the coming weeks, we are looking forward to sharing our work with you!
