Description
Academia has a tradition of fostering interaction between scientific fields but not with companies. In the past years, we have witnessed a development of academic-type research teams within big tech companies, especially in machine learning. As machine learning is becoming a very hot topic in Physics (and quantum computing might also), we need these kind of interactions more than ever. How can we make those two worlds benefit from each other?
