A few weeks ago, machine learning & AI researchers, practitioners and students from Africa and around the world met at Stellenbosch University, South Africa, for the second annual Deep Learning Indaba, an event that aims to expand African participation in and contribution to the field. While I wasn't able to make it to Cape Town, I did have a chance to speak with some of the event's awesome speakers, and I'm excited to present our Deep Learning Indaba series.
