Scala Hacking with PMML: Hands-on

Scala Members!

I'm excited to announce a joint Meetup with Vancouver Machine Learning (https://www.meetup.com/MachineLearning/) & Vancouver Data Science (https://www.meetup.com/DataScience/events/213896082/) and get our hands dirty on Thursday, November 6th @ Visier Headquarters with Sebastian Harko to learn how to use PMML, a cross-language machine learning file format, and get hacking with Python and Scala Machine Learning. Staying true to our new direction, I'd like to also open up a couple of 10 minute slots for Scala topics. Topics will be voted by the group that day, so please bring a couple ideas with you! Doors open at 6pm. Please do not double RSVP on other groups if you have RSVP'd here!

Please note this is a hands-on Meetup, so you are encouraged to bring your laptop and hack along with Sebastian as he walks us through PMML. We're working to have a Github available ahead of time where we can "cut and paste" our own solutions. Here's some details about our next meet:

----------------------------------

The Predictive Model Markup Language (PMML) is an XML-based file format that allows models to be exchanged between different machine learning platforms. Sebastian will walk us through the basics of exporting a model from Python to JPMML in Scala. This is especially useful for prototyping and learning in Python, where PMML can help scale in productionized Scala.

----------------------------------

Please note that if we max out our capacity we are clear to switch to a larger venue. Please RSVP and let us know ASAP! Save the date: Nov 6th @ 6pm. See you all soon.
