Re: Machine Learning Workshop overview and talk update

Hi, Josh:

I want to suggest a somewhat different, highly focussed approach.
Looking at the conference workshop announcement:

https://www.w3.org/2020/06/machine-learning-workshop/

The goal is "to bring together providers of machine learning toolkits
and framework providers with Web platform practitioners."

I would take you or Jason as the latter, the web platform practitioner.


So, the applications you outline would be created using the output of
the other two: the toolkits and the frameworks?

I would like us to bluntly ask whether the toolkit and framework people
have any assertions they're ready to make about accessibility in their
tools/frameworks. Do they conform to ATAG 2.0? Do the produce accessible
output? Perhaps even more importantly, can a pwd "use your toolkit and
framework?"

Does this make any sense?
