Possibly one of the best open source machine learning projects around.
scikit-learn http://scikit-learn.org/stable/ is a well established Open Source machine learning library mostly written in Python with the help of NumPy, SciPy and Cython.
scikit-learn is very user-friendly designed with a simple and consistent API and extensive documentation. Strictly enforced coding standards and high test coverage guarantee high quality implementations. Behind Scikit-learn is a very active community, steadily improving the library.
Come and meet Olivier & Andreas, two smart hackers-by-night who are main contributors to the project.
7pm talks start
Section 1
“Learning in Python with scikit-learn" by Andreas Mueller
This talk will give an overview of the library and introduce general machine learning concepts such as supervised and unsupervised learning, feature extraction, cross validation for model evaluation and hyper parameter selection. We will also touch some more advanced yet practically useful concepts such as feature hashing and ensemble learning.
Andreas is a PhD student in machine learning an computer vision at Bonn University (Germany). He is one of the core developers and the maintainer of scikit-learn and the author of the blog peekaboo-vision. His interests include principles and applications of machine learning and open science.
Beer break, Networking and Community Update
Section 2
"Parallel and large scale learning with scikit-learn" by Olivier Grisel
This talk will give a introduce practical tools and concepts to better leverage multicore machines and small clusters to perform interactive yet scalable predictive modeling with scikit-learn and IPython.parallel. In particular we will introduce:
Olivier is a R&D Software Engineer working in Java by day and a Python machine learning hacker by night. He is interested in applications to Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision and predictive modelling in general
More beer + networking
9.30pm-ish meetup ends

Hi Onuonga! Did you have chance to find the slides/presentations? I'd be quite interested in having a look :) Thank you, G.

Great crowd at the meet up and interesting discussions :) Thanks for the invite and organization Carlos!

Will there be any slides/video recordings? Content sounds great, wish I'd seen it yesterday ;)

Very good talks, and plenty of refreshments. In fact the only problem with the evening was the popularity of the subject...with so many people there it meant some had to sit on the floor, which was fine (better that, than being turned away), but it did mean that you couldn't see the screen. Still, popularity is a good problem to have.

Sorry I can't make it as I've been in the waiting list and just received the email at 18:15, confirming I can attend. It is too late for meeting starts in 15 mins.
March 7, 2013
Last minute work commitments prevent me from going to this :( I was so looking forward to it...
March 7, 2013
stuck in client office not sure will make it :(, i really envy everyone who made it
March 7, 2013
Sorry Guys - ended up making other plans. Will free this spot up for others.
March 7, 2013
Sorry. Illness in family means I can no longer make it. Please ensure that slidea are uploaded somewhere though!
March 7, 2013
Please start charging a nominal fee! These meetups fill up ridiculously quickly.
How likely is it to get in from waiting list? This sounds like a really interesting session.
Thanks

Hi William, at the session I went to, they took attendance on the door. But I understand it's rare for these free meetup events to get 100% attendance.
March 5, 2013
You could well have introduced non-linearity into the attendance numbers. Like the bar in Santa Fe playing music. If people thought there was a chance of getting in they'd all go, and it would be too crowded. If they thought it was going to be busy, they'd all stay away and it ended up empty.
March 6, 2013
Sounds good would love to come. How likely is it I'll be let in even though I'm on the waiting list?
March 4, 2013
I went to the prof Brian coz meet up which was very overly subscribed the solution used was to use the adjoining rooms as split over rooms with a live video link up, just an idea!
March 1, 2013
Carlos, why is there so much concern for beer and pizza? To be honest I'm happy to not get anything to eat or drink AND sit on the floor or stand up for the entire session just as long as I can be there.
Shouldn't an opportunity to be there be of the highest priority? Surely, those who truly come for knowledge won't find lack of free refreshments a problem!

When i joined waitlist it was 120 attendants, and 40 on the waitlist. Now there are some 180 people going, i'm still on the waitlist. Guys, i don't drink/eat that much)))
February 26, 2013
Hope a spot gets available. ..
February 25, 2013
on waiting list, again?! Spots get filled up probably as soon as the event's announced! :(

I am looking in to machine learning from twitter geo-tags to retail activity

I started the group because there wasn't any other type of group like this. I've met some great folks in the group who have become close friends and have also met some amazing business owners.
