See all- Predicting Risk on the UK Strategic Road NetworkDepartment Bonded Warehouse, Manchester
Data science's dirty little secret is that there's never enough data to train your model. But Gary Short wasn't bothered by that - whilst solving a problem he developed a methodology that combines estimation, forecasting and statistical rigour and he's coming to show you how it works.
Best of all, you don't need to be a data scientist or have a PhD in statistics to follow along.Venue
This meeting is at Bonded Warehouse; once part of Old Granada Studios, the iconic warehouse is now office space and can be found behind the Museum of Science and Industry in Castlefield. Follow the directions for the Crystal Maze and the building is on the right.
This is a free event - there is no charge for a ticket.
We often get enough RSVP's for there to be a waiting list; the list has always cleared by the early part of the week of the talk, but this relies on you releasing your ticket if you can no longer attend. Please remember to do this if your plans change.Please ensure we have an email address that you do look at, so we can let you know of any last minute changes; and please use your full name on the site as it's the only way we, or the fire service, can account for you in the case of an evacuation/emergency/fire etc.
Catering will be provided, courtesy of ECOM Recruitment. If you have any special dietary requirements please let us know via the event chat.
If you would need assistance to leave the building in the event of an evacuation then please let us know via the event chat.
Note for recruitment professionals - we don't exclude recruiters from our meetings but we would ask you to contact Rick Garner for a brief chat before you start attending.
