What is ML and Systems Rising Stars?

The ML and Systems Rising Stars is an initiative to identify a cohort of early to late-stage and recently graduated PhD students, as well as other researchers with a relevant background, to develop community, foster research and career growth, enable collaborations, and discuss career opportunities among the rising generation of researchers at intersections of machine learning and systems.

This initiative will have a number of key goals including:

An in-person workshop for selected participants will provide an opportunity to interact with speakers and panelists from a range of ML and Systems perspectives, provide skill-building sessions for career growth and development, and encourage presentations and discussions of research efforts and interests to foster community and collaboration. Selected participants will be reimbursed for reasonable travel expenses to attend, including flights, lodging, and food during the workshop.

Workshop Details

There will be an in-person workshop for all ML and Systems Rising Stars participants. The workshop will include opportunities to present and discuss your research, build career development skills, and interact with industry and academic partners in the machine learning and systems area.

Location: TBD (California, USA)
When: 2-day workshop in July 2023
Funding: Selected participants will be funded to participate in the in-person ML and Systems rising stars program. The support is intended to reimburse overheads such as travel, lodging, and associated expenses.
