Vienna Data Science Group - Knowledgefeed vol. 14

Dear Community,

we are proudly announcing our 14th. Knowledegfeed. For those of you joining us for the first time, a short description below.

During these sessions we are inviting specialists presenting their hands-on experience, current project or simply ideas regarding topics related to our field of interest (the reason for this rather wide description is based on the wide scope of data science (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_science) itself... ;-)). Furthermore this gives you the opportunity to ask our lecturer of the evening questions, discuss your ideas and of course enjoy a beer in company of some interesting folks!

In addition please do not hesitate to present your own projects, ideas or thoughts...we are more than gladly sharing the stage with you! Please refer to our last blog-post (http://viennadatasciencegroup.at/2016/09/06/power-to-the-people/) / Discussion entry (https://www.meetup.com/Vienna-Data-Science-Group-Meetup/messages/boards/thread/50113851) for further details.

This evening we will have following talks:

As a result of a fruitful collaboration with us (http://viennadatasciencegroup.at/) we commenced the "Summer Of Code (http://viennadatasciencegroup.at/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/OYD_160617.pdf)" in July this year. The aim was to support this great idea and OwnYourData with the development of their platform by working on pre-specified projects, or simply coming up with your own idea. Christoph will be presenting you with the glorious results of these projects, which are listed below:
