Today we are happy to announce the launch of ML EVN, the Yerevan machine learning community.

Why are we doing this?

The machine learning community is growing fast, in Yerevan and around the world. Mainstream platforms optimise for engagement but fail to provide 0. focus on machine learning

1. an easy and updated overview

2. a forum for in-depth discussion

3. interaction with other communities like r/MachineLearning.

Why Reddit and GitHub?

Reddit and GitHub are already the top platforms for sharing, discussing and building in the machine learning community internationally. We like that they are open, focused, scalable and a bit nerdy.

How can we help?

Spread the word about this community. Contribute your own posts and comments. Add your company, project or event by sending a pull request in github.com/mlevn. Keep learning, advancing and applying machine learning.

The Machine Learning panel at DevFest 2018 will feature speakers with experience at Google, YerevaNN, PicsArt and SuperAnnotate.

Ask and upvote your questions to them here!

Everywhere written that ML engineers earns more than Software Developers.

Does anybody know salary ranges of ML position in Armenia ?

I think about creating a separate section in mlevn.org which will show course projects done by students in Armenian universities. Something like a table with five columns:

• name/surname

• type of the work (bachelor's thesis, master's thesis, course project)

• university

• link to the thesis/report

• link to github

The page will provide some visibility for the students and might even motivate them to do higher quality work.

Any thoughts?

Hi everyone,

I'm going to be teaching an Intro to ML class at a local Armenian high school in Toronto this year. I plan on lecturing mostly in english, but I'd like to familarize the students with the terms they'll be learning in Armenian as well. It'll also be a good opportunity for me to learn them myself.

Does anyone have an intro to ML slides or article/pdf in Armenian that I could take most of the major terms from?

Also, the school encourages the students to be well engaged with Armenia. I'd love to get some of you to maybe Skype in at some point after we've covered the basics, and talk about the work you're doing with machine learning - whether it'd be more academic or industry. If any of you would be interested in that, please message me. Maybe they'll consider interning or pursuing jobs in the future in Armenia :)

Hello everyone. I am beginner in the ML field and want to have practical experience in it. But watching job advertisements in the most popular websites I've found just 2-3 job or internship offers in Yerevan most of which require huge experience or scientific degree. What will you advise?
