About
MLT is a technical machine learning community and an award-winning nonprofit organization working on open education, open source and open science in machine learning based in Tokyo, Japan.
Since 2017, we have organized more than 350 workshops, talks, study sessions and hackathons in Tokyo and online, with over 28,000 participants. We worked on multiple projects, community-led research, and developed ML Search – a search engine and knowledge platform for machine learning resources. We support a research and engineering community of more than 10,000 members.
