What is a W3C workshop?

• Open to anyone with relevant expertise
• Broader perspective than specific CG/WG
• Opportunity to hear from more relevant communities
• Typically, 2-days event

W3C Workshop examples

• Web & Virtual Reality Workshop in 2016
• Web & Games Workshop in June 2019
• many more

Why a W3C Workshop on Machine Learning?

• Lots of energy in WebML CG
• Lots of interest from many connected but not yet involved communities
• Opportunity to put WebNN in broader context of ML in browser

Possible topics

• WebNN in context
• Integrate ML with browser data sources (e.g. sensors)
• Integration with WebGPU, WASM
• Relation to Speech Recognition, Shape detection
• Relation to /integration with cloud-based inference
• ...

How, where and when

• Define a call for participation
• Establish a small team to do outreach, research and set agenda
• Where? Offer in Berlin - others?
• When? Q1 2020: last 2 weeks of March?
