Queer in AI @ ICML 2020 Workshop
The 4th QinAI Workshop is co-located with ICML which is now an online conference. We aim to spread our program across several slots between 13th to 17th July to make it as accessible as possible for time zones around the world. We will accept paper submissions and discussion topics. Anyone registered for ICML 2020 is welcome to attend! We will have financial aid available to cover registration fees.
