If you are interested in deep learning, machine learning, NLP, data science, open source, and search framework, you might also be interested participating in **our virtual talk at NLP Zurich next Tuesday on Oct 20, 2020**. 

My colleague, [Alex](https://twitter.com/alexcg), and I got in touch with **NLP Zurich** some time ago. Immediately, we feel so connected and want to host a meetup together. 
[So here we come!](https://www.meetup.com/NLP-Zurich/events/273854724/) :grin:

Before COVID-19, NLP Zurich meetups were usually offline. Since it's only possible to have virtual meetups right now, wouldn't it be nice to meet more people from around the world?
