FSF's criteria for free machine learning applications
On Sunday, February 2, 11:00 CEST Zoë Kooyman and Krzysztof Siewicz will will present the major considerations for defining what user freedom means in the rapidly developing field of machine learning, why it is different from defining software freedom, and why it matters.
