Po-Ling Loh was the one of the key people who created the Midwest Machine Learning Symposium. The symposium aims to convene regional machine learning researchers for stimulating discussions and debates, to foster cross-institutional collaboration, and to showcase the collective talent of machine learning researchers at all career stages. It will be held at the Logan Center at University of Chicago on June 6-7, 2018. The MMLS was founded in 2017 and Prof. Loh is this year’s chair. More information:
