Through events and programs, WiML fosters a positive and inclusive environment for professional and technical growth. Our Mission The field of machine learning, while growing immensely in scale and scope in the last decade, has a major lack of gender diversity: only 14% of authors of ML papers are women and on average, only 20% of professors are female. WiML’s mission is to enhance the experience of women in machine learning; toward this goal, WiML aims to: WiML creates opportunities for women to engage in substantive technical and professional conversations in positive, supportive environments. WiML also works to increase awareness and appreciation of the achievements of women in the field (e.g. award nominations, invited speaker recommendations) to help ensure that women in machine learning and their achievements are known in the community. Our History and Achievements Since its founding in 2006, WiML has grown into a major force for inclusivity in machine learning. Some of our key milestones include: Annual WiML Workshop : Held alongside the NeurIPS Conference, our flagship workshop has grown from a small gathering to over 1,500 participants in 2021. Networking Events: We organize networking opportunities at ML conferences, fostering connections across the industry. Public Directory: Our directory helps conference organizers find women speakers and panelists in machine learning. Social Media Presence: With 17.2K followers on Twitter , we amplify the voices of women in ML. Mailing List: Nearly 7,000 subscribers receive job opportunities, event updates, and industry news.
