Areas in AI, but there is a lot here is a few for SWE folks

Doing ambitious project, from an "ambitious person?"🤔

Aman is like the best AI/ML Researcher and Engineer in Ethiopia.

You can see more about him here: https://leobitz.github.io/

Fraol is up now

DevFest was cool, met a lot of familiar faces! At this point, I'm convinced some of us are DevFest-only NPCs 😂, it's weird we only meet with some of you only at Devfest

What is this language? Anybody with some experiences with this, the most unreadable a language could be is look like this

Sometimes the best way to learn and interact with some awesome researchers is attend AI/ML schools, usually there are winter and summer schools and if they are in person they will cover your costs to attend them.


I came across this website recently but it will show some of these deadlines etc. You can maybe check it once in 2 weeks, I'm not sure if they update it on time though.

I'll post when the call is out but here are some summer schools and programs you should apply for in the coming 3-4 months.

- African Computer Vision Summer School 2025
- The annual Deep Learning Indaba 2025
- Tropical Probabilistic AI School
- Oxford ML school (virtual)

If you want to work on research project with Cohere for AI, this is a good chance.

They are looking for 1-2 junior researchers. Esp. if you are planning to go to grad school, it will help you a lot working with Sara Hooker, Ahmet Ustun and the others.
