Dive into Data Science

Dear members,
We're happy to announce the second meetup as part of our monthly meetup series to discuss various data science topics.

This time 'Webstep AS' has stepped up to sponsor and help us. We'll be having the meetup at Media City Bergen as a part of Future Week event. https://mediacitybergen.no/future-week/program/#thursday

Tentative Agenda:
17:00 - 17:30 Entry & Mingle over Food :)
17:30- 18:15 Intro & Talk 1 ( 45 Min)
Speaker - Choukha Ram, Data Scientist @ Equinor
Topic - "Algorithmic Defense mechanisms against online Fake News"

• Online fake news has recently emerged as a major societal problem. Malicious actors spread fallacious viral stories in order to gain advertising revenue, influence opinions, and even tip elections. Therefore countering the spread of disinformation online presents an urgent technical and political issue.
  We’ll have conversation about ML-based disinformation threats and how they can be countered.

18:15 - 18:45 Talk 2 ( 30 Min) - "Data science in predictive maintenance" - Yapi Donatien Achou is a Data Scientist currently working with Moholt AS, will give an overview on the application of data science in Predictive maintenance. Specifically, he'll talk about a method based on wavelet decomposition and statistical dispersion, to estimate the health index of a bearing.

18:45 - 19:15 Talk 3 ( 30 Min) - "Overview of current Machine Learning Platforms" - Angèle Abboud from Webstep AS will give a brief overview of different ML platforms.

We're looking for speakers for future meetups & events, contact us if you want to talk/present something.

Thanks,
Bergen Data Science Meetup Team
