As of the beginning of January 2020, it's my great pleasure to join The Machine Learning Times as editor in chief! I've taken over the main editorial duties from Eric Siegel, who founded the ML Times (also the founder of the Predictive Analytics World conference series). As you've likely noticed, we've renamed to The Machine Learning Times what until recently was The Predictive Analytics Times. In addition to a new, shiny name, this rebranding corresponds with new efforts to expand and intensify our breadth of coverage. One particular area of focus will be to increase our coverage of deep learning.
