We are pleased to invite you to the North Africans in ML affinity group workshop, which will take place at NeurIPS 2022. The workshop will include talks, poster sessions, as well as a shared task relating to ML in North Africa. We will have both archival and non-archival tracks and invited talks. Junior researchers and students interested in Machine Learning theory and applications from North African institutions and beyond (academia and industry) are welcome to present their new work as well as completed or ongoing research projects or ideas.

All nationalities are welcome! Authors of non-archival papers can choose to have their abstracts, bios, and posters posted on our website and can request participation/attendance certificates for this event. NeurIPS D&I will provide some travel grants and registration fee waivers to the participants. Please note that all participants are encouraged to apply for NeurIPS registration fee waivers.

The deadline to submit the posters and abstracts is the 22nd of September.
