I'm curious if anyone knows people who would help me bring some efficient ML project work I've done to spheres like Africa. I've visited a couple times and loved being there so much, but definitely feel extremely disjoint from that part of the world. It would be really nice to me to help make some of those connections. <3 :'))))
- YAmpedUp 3y agoHi Tysam_ Thanks for your intreset in helping others with your knowlegde , i would greatly recommend you to deeplearningindaba https://deeplearningindaba.com/mentorship/ https://deeplearningindaba.com/mentorship/ , its one of the biggest ml communities in africa and has a host of students, companies and mentors
- tysam_and 3y agoThank you, very much appreciated, this means a ton. Thank you for helping me make the connection, I will look into this. <3 :'))))
- EddTheSDET 3y agoCould you write to a university near where you’d like to work and ask them for some advice too?
- tysam_and 3y agoI think you may have replied to the wrong comment (I might be misunderstanding, however).
- joshvm 3y agoI think the suggestion is to try to collaborate with local universities. From experience, a lot of research/fieldwork in Africa is only practical with local experts and communities. Also look into attending or supporting the next Deep Learning Indaba. This year has just finished I think. It's one of the largest African ML communities and they have a mentorship program. https://deeplearningindaba.com/2023/ https://deeplearningindaba.com/2023/
