Hello, I'm a machine learning researcher who's here in Tokyo on exchange. Might anyone be interested to meet up for an interesting conversation over a meal on Christmas?

Also try the HN Tokyo Slack group.

Oh are there other HN ($place) groups?

The website to get a Slack invite link (hntokyo.io) seems to be down.

[edit] The domain expired on Dec 9th.

Here's a temporary invite link in case anyone needs one: https://join.slack.com/t/hntokyo/shared_invite/zt-1me56squp-...

po2• 4 years ago

Yes! I'm the organizer and we will get the auto-invite domain back online at some point. Life has gotten in the way... Thank you for sharing the link in the meantime. You can also email me and I'll send an invite.

It's a friendly group of nerds and entrepreneurs. We'll do another in-person event as soon as we can! You can sign up on doorkeeper if you want an announcement email when it goes live: https://manage.doorkeeper.jp/groups/hntokyo

If anyone’s near Lake Saint Louis Missouri (lord help you), feel free to come on over for a machine learning hackathon. I can spin up a tpu pod for you and train a classifier real fast.

Oh man, I wish I hadn’t let my in-laws borrow my car thinking I would have nothing to do. I’m in Columbia and have been solo’ing my machine-learning adventure.

sillysaurusx2• 4 years ago

Hit me up sometime! DM’s open on Twitter. Definitely happy to meet up.

I am in the same situation. I am also a machine learning researcher who's here in Tokyo on exchange. If you want to meet up and chat tomorrow for Xmas let me know, just send me an email via ming.ang@riken.jp

Munich. Tomorrow 3 PM. Email in my profile for location. Probably walk in old town since the weather should be great.

As someone who has plans with family this holiday, this thread still makes me happy to see. Been a while since I've seen a meetup thread on the parts of the internet I frequent.

Would have loved to run into you last week, when I took a solo trip across Asia and was feeling very lonely in Tokyo. Hope you find some friends and have a good time!
