Maria and William rock!

[Artur Dubrawski]

Maria De Arteaga and William Herlands have just co-organized an 
immensely successful workshop on ML for Development at NIPS. It did not 
only go very well and was well attended, but it was fun to be a part of 
it. At the end, the audience demanded a continuation at the next NIPS. I 
guess good things happen when you combine ML expertise with the 
awareness of pressing policy/societal issues.

Congrats Maria and William!

Oh, the media have found about it too:
