AI Paper Reading Club - Monthly Meetup

Join us for our monthly AI Paper Reading Club, a relaxed and welcoming space for anyone curious about the cutting edge of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Whether you're here for deep dives into the math behind the models or prefer to focus on the practical impact of applied research, this event has something for you.

Each session features a volunteer presenter who picks a recent or classic paper to unpack, ranging from rigorous theoretical work to industry-shaping applications. Bring your questions, your insights, or just your curiosity. There’s no pressure to present, and all backgrounds are welcome.

We believe in learning together, at our own pace, no gatekeeping, no ego, just AI enthusiasts helping each other grow.

Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762 Attention Is All You Need

“Attention is All You Need” launched a new era in AI. The Transformer architecture it introduced replaced older models with something faster, more scalable, and more powerful. It’s the foundation behind all modern large language models (LLMs) like GPT, BERT, T5, PaLM, LLaMA, Claude, and Gemini, powering everything from chatbots to code assistants. If you want to understand how today’s AI works, this is where it all started.

***We’ve got room for just 24 folks, grab yours early!

A heartfelt thank you to KJR for generously sponsoring the venue for this event. Your support makes it possible for us to bring the AI community together, share knowledge, and grow as a collective.
