Reading group

The Snorkel AI Reading Group (SARG) is a recurring forum for researchers and practitioners to explore the latest AI research papers and frontier developments while building meaningful connections within the community.

We’ll dive into the most talked-about research in benchmarking and evaluation, pressure-test the ideas, share our POV, and bring in the authors themselves for open discussion. Every talk gets a written recap, linked below.
