Is there a meetup page or similar for this, for those who aren’t familiar with it?
Do you guys take notes and post it somewhere to share your understanding ? ( especially for those who are joining this class remotely )
None of our members are expert in this. We are all learning this together. This is a beginner friendly meetup group.
We encourage people to come and ask questions. We believe in peer to peer learning through discussions. Sometimes, just knowing what questions to ask is a skill as well.
In fact, we have a discussion leader that will make a presentation about theses papers beforehand. But you are encouraged to try to read those papers before coming.
At this time, all we have is a meetup slack channel - you are welcome to join our discussion there - we share a lot of useful resources.

That link is probably pointing to nothing yet. Did you mean to put slack channel link ?
That sounds terrific! So anyone is welcome to come? Do they need to let you know first?
(As @asawant mentioned, that Slack link appears to be down at the moment)
Anyone is welcome to join! That’s the spirit. They don’t need to let me know first - when you reach the event venue just pin the door, or call me - 734834789, or message the slack group. I will come to let you in.
We have been running this since June. And people come with different experience levels. I started this not knowing anything about deep learning and was struggling to read papers. I realized that it’s much more fun to read papers with people since different people understand different parts and maybe by joining forces we can have a more complete understanding of them.
There’s no dumb questions! Please ask questions if you don’t understand something. You are providing a chance for the explainer to reinforce the concept in his/her head and also helping yourself pinpoint where the understanding breaksdown.

This is great !! Thanks for the invite to Slack. Wish I could join in person. Are you all based in SFO ?
I am based in San Francisco. Most of our members are based in the Bay Area. Some drive up to the city from South Bay.
