A cornerstone of our community for many years, Tea Talks are scientific keynote-like talks held every week during the academic year. These presentations cover a range of technical subjects related to machine learning. The talks are also open to the public.
Typically, an in-house or guest speaker gives a talk lasting around an hour, with around 15 minutes devoted to questions throughout. As most of the participants are Mila students and professors, the content is geared towards this level of understanding.
Speakers are also encouraged to stay after the lecture to talk with students in individual or group meetings to discuss research interests and ideas.
Tea Talks are typically held in Mila's auditorium on Friday mornings at 10:30 a.m. EDT. The talks are also live-streamed on Google Meet via the following link: https://meet.google.com/nqu-embv-juy
The Tea Talks series is taking a break for the summer and return at the beginning of September 2025.
