Our Mission
Machine learning should belong to everyone.Great ideas are not confined to universities or corporations. Great ideas emerge from curiosity, persistence, and community. NIRL exists to give independent researchers a home, a name, and a network.
We believe in open science, shared progress, and the collective pursuit of understanding. Too much knowledge is locked away in silos, never shared, never challenged. We aim to change that by connecting citizen scientists, engineers, and dreamers working on the frontiers of machine learning.
