ML Reading Club NCR is a small, curated group for people who enjoy sitting down with a good research paper and really understanding it. In association with the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF) Research Impact Ambassador Program, this is the third chapter of the club's series of deep-reading sessions.
Most machine learning papers are skimmed; very few are actually read. This club is designed for those who want to slow down and engage with research on a deeper level. Instead of chasing the latest AI headlines or trying to cover as many papers as possible, the group focuses on one or two important papers per session, unpacking their motivation, assumptions, ideas, methodology, experiments, limitations, and the questions they leave behind.
What to expect:
You don't need to be an expert on the paper beforehand. You just need to be curious enough to read it carefully and interested enough to discuss what you find. This is not a networking meetup or a recruiting event—it's simply a room full of people who genuinely enjoy reading and thinking about artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Attendance is intentionally capped at around 15–20 participants to keep the discussion small, interactive, and technical. If spending a Sunday afternoon with a research paper sounds more exciting than scrolling through another hundred AI announcements, this is the place for you.
Venue: IIIT Delhi, New Delhi.

The ANRF (Anusandhan National Research Foundation) is India's apex body for research funding and promotion, and this collaboration adds a layer of academic credibility to the club's mission of fostering deep technical reading habits among the research community in the National Capital Region.
