We meet every two weeks to learn more about data science by discussing Kaggle competitions (https://www.kaggle.com/). If you want to get better at data wrangling, feature engineering, model selection or just want to have fun solving non-trivial data science problems, this is the right group to join!

This week we will discuss the Digit Recognizer (https://www.kaggle.com/c/digit-recognizer) competition, which is one of the "Getting Started" competitions. It's a great one to get started on for Deep Learning.

Please try to look at the competition before the meetup. It's OK if you don't understand it all. The meetup is for questions and discussion.
