Future Research

Several participants of the ML Paper Reading Club are actively collaborating in the writing of research papers. Their involvement has fostered a strong sense of teamwork and has allowed for the development of new ideas and insights within the field. It's exciting to see the club not only as a place for learning but also as a platform for contributing to the academic community.
