Introduction to Machine Learning - Decision Trees

Hi. It has been some time since we had a meetup on data science. Lets look at one of the popular libraries for machine learning called scikit-learn. The plan is to explore Decision Trees (http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/tree.html) in python using a simple dataset and make predictions. If you have already used this library before, feel free to attend and help others as a mentor. Read up on the topic beforehand to have some basic understanding. The focus would be to share our knowledge and have an open discussion on what can be done.

Bring along your datasets and software pre-installed. Scikits can be installed from here - http://scikit-learn.org/dev/install.html

Agenda:

1. Round of introductions

2. Decision Tree concepts

3. Discussing datasets

4. Implementing a simple decision tree

5. Comparing results

I will choose a place based on the number of RSVP's that we get. So make sure you apply quickly. If you are not sure of coming, please do not RSVP.
