Re: Machine Learning Workshop overview and talk update

Sorry, for top post. I like it!! I'm also clocking out right now and 
will be off tomorrow, so feel free to edit wiki as needed.

If we were to suggest a talk in the context of ML. We could state 
something like:

<josh suggested edits>

Suggested Talk Title:
Machine Learning: Where is the accessibility nexus for toolkits and the 
frameworks?

Suggested/Overview
Do toolkit and framework developers have any assertions they're ready to 
make about accessibility in their
tools/frameworks? Do they conform to ATAG 2.0 for example? Do the 
produce accessible output? Perhaps even more importantly, can a person 
with a disability use these toolkits and frameworks?

How can machine learning support these goals?
</josh suggested edits>

That may get us in the door, and facilitate some interesting discussion, 
thoughts?

If we like this idea I could submit it as a talk proposal?

Thanks

Josh
