Practical inference: Use Cases from Energy Generation and the Web

This meetup is a joint event with Big Data Analytics (Sydney) and YOW! (http://yowconference.com.au/) We now have three speakers lined up to continue the journey into a world of Big Data Analytics. We are very fortunate to have this month's event co-sponsored by YOW! (http://yowconference.com.au/), NICTA (http://nicta.com.au/) and DiUS (http://dius.com.au/), so there will be an ample supply of beer and pizza! Hope that you can all join us for what is shaping up to be another great meetup.

Charles Blaxland, DiUS Computing: Charles will walk through how a new data science implementation for a financial services organisation used parallel processing and cloud computing to massively speed up the time taken to crunch 600 billion calculations from 208 days to just 8.5 hours.

Jared McKee, Energex Australia: Jared joins us from Brisbane, he is going to present some work that he has done within Energex to spatially simulate electricity demand using machine learning.

Luke Metcalfe, Web Entrepreneur: Luke has developed a system to identify which web properties are likely to be under the same control using web site fingerprinting techniques and inference algorithms.
