ML Collective
@ml_collective
We are an independent nonprofit organization that believes collaboration opportunities and research training should be openly accessible and free.
It's been 4 years since the inception of ML Collective. Through 500+ events, we nurtured ML researchers around the world. We've been operating w/o formally raising any money, but people's awareness and kindness. Today, we finally set up a donation page to help us do better.

We are HALFWAY there! Thanks to all those who've kindly contributed 🙏🙏 With Indaba <4 weeks away, let's send all the 25 African researchers to their dream conference! Donate what you can: donorbox.org/mlc-nigeria-de…
The opportunity gap in AI is more striking than ever. We talk way too much about those receiving $100M or whatever for their jobs, but not enough those asking for <$1k to present their work. For 3rd year in a row, @ml_collective is raising funds to support @DeepIndaba attendees.
3rd year?! Wow. This is truly amazing and heartwarming to see. Let’s bridge the opportunity gap in AI—every dollar counts. Support @ml_collective in helping more voices get heard at @DeepIndaba, You can donate here: donorbox.org/mlc-nigeria-de… 🙌🌍🧠

As a member of @ml_collective working on ASR + hate-speech detection for Nigerian languages, attending #DeepLearningIndaba for the first time this year would be transformative for me, accelerating my research. Your donations make this possible! 🙏 donorbox.org/mlc-nigeria-de…
