  <h2><a name="mlab"  href="/mlab">MLab</a></h2>
  <p>ACMLab is Stanford's premier machine learning club. Its goal is to teach anyone with basic CS experience machine learning. After an intensive ramp-up workshop in the fall, members work on publishing papers at top ML conferences and workshops. We have published 6 workshop papers so far at top conferences and workshops such as ACL and ICLR. Alumni have gone on to Google AI, Stanford ML Group, Stanford NLP Group, and VMWare.</p>
