Name: A Gentle Introduction to Machine Learning with F# (Coding Dojo)
Start: 2014-11-12T19:00:00+01:00
End: 2014-11-12T22:00:00+01:00
Location: Restaurant Oase

Hi all,

our next meetup will take place on Wed, Nov. 12 at 7 PM, Restaurant Oase, Zurich Main Station (as usual).

If you come for the first time, please download this pdf (http://files.meetup.com/2794852/Location_Oase.pdf) to make sure you find the location. As always, a fee of CHF 10.-- will be charged to cover part of the expenses. Preferably bring a laptop with you, with the F# development environment already installed (see below).

The meetup will be a Coding Dojo (interactive workshop), led by Mathias Brandewinder, a well-known F# consultant/trainer from the San Francisco Bay Area. I am very happy that Mathias takes the time for passing by Zurich while traveling in Europe. Thanks, Mathias!

See you soon for an exciting evening of hands-on F# coding in Zurich. Best wishes,

Marc

A Gentle Introduction to Machine Learning with F#

Machine Learning is the art of writing programs that get better at performing a task as they gain experience, without being explicitly programmed to do so. Feed your program more data, and it will get smarter at handling new situations.

Some machine learning algorithms use fairly advanced math, but simple approaches can be surprisingly effective. In this session, we'll take a classic Machine Learning challenge from Kaggle.com, automatically recognizing hand-written digits ( http://www.kaggle.com/c/digit-recognizer ), and build a classifier, from scratch, using F#. So bring your laptop, and let's see how smart we can make our machines!

This session will be organized as an interactive workshop. Come over, and learn yourself a Machine Learning and F# for great good! No prior experience with Machine Learning required, and F# beginners are very welcome - it will be a great opportunity to see F# in action, and why it's awesome.

To get the most from the session please try and bring a laptop along with F# installed (ideally either Xamarin Studio, MonoDevelop or Visual Studio); you can find detailed instructions for OSX, Linux and Windows on fsharp.org (http://fsharp.org/).

And if you've never used F# before and want a head-start, check the great online intro tutorials on TryFSharp.org (http://www.tryfsharp.org/).

Cheers!

Mathias
