Machine Learning Community of Practice (ML4AU) Meeting (May 2026)

About the Event

The Machine Learning Community of Practice for Australia (ML4AU) provides an opportunity for anyone interested in ML for research to collaborate over the emerging needs for ML capabilities and expertise in digital research.

At this ML4AU meeting, we’ll hear about:

• applied AI practice and projects at CSIRO
• updates on the ARDC’s Frontier Federated Machine Learning Capacity Building for Australia project.

Who Should Attend

• Researchers and academics
• Data scientists
• Machine learning practioners
• Research software engineers
• Anyone interested in practical AI applications and federated learning models

Who Will Be Speaking?

• Morgan Lewis, CSIRO Presentation: Machine Learning Approaches to Understand the Drivers of Australian Rainfall Variability
• Suk Yee Yong, CSIRO Presentation: AI xDomain Collaboration in Coastal Mapping and Biomedical Discovery
• Paulus Lahur, CSIRO Presentation: Evolution as an Invention Machine: How a Computer Autonomously Designed Industrial Static Mixers
