Depth First Learning Fellowship: $4000 grants to build ML curricula

Hi all! We posted this earlier and are bringing it back just in case folks missed it in the pre-holiday rush. We're actively looking now for fellows so please don't hesitate if you're interested.

We’re researchers from NYU, FAIR, Google Brain, and and DeepMind. Last year, we designed Depth First Learning, a pedagogy for diving deep into ML by carefully tailoring a curriculum around a particular ML paper or concept and leading small, focused discussion groups. So far, we’ve created guides for InfoGAN, TRPO, AlphaGoZero, and DeepStack.

Since our launch, we’ve received very positive feedback from students and researchers. Now, we want to run new, online classes around the world. Thanks to the generosity of Jane Street, we will provide four fellows each with a $4000 grant to build a six-week curriculum and run weekly on-line discussions.

If you’d like to lead a class about an important paper in machine learning, please visit http://fellowship.depthfirstlearning.com to apply. We look forward to hearing from you!
