For everyone who uses R or wants to use R, but with a focus on intermediate to advanced users (while still being friendly and welcoming for everyone !).
- Bayesian/probabilistic programming
- Taking models into production (best practices, workflows, DataOps)
- High performance code (parallel computing, Rcpp and friends)
- R and the Hadoop ecosystem
- Deep learning in R (because python is too mainstream ? ;-))
- Package writing-a-thons
- Beautiful and powerful Data Visualization (we shall write Javascript if that's what it takes)
- Causal inference
+ Anything else the group feels would be cool !
