LA R Users: June Meeting

LA R Users Group will have our June meeting online on Zoom (https://usc.zoom.us/j/92828963940).

Talk (60min talk, 10min Q&A)

Title: Three reasons to use tidymodels
Abstract: Modeling and machine learning in R involve a bewildering array of heterogeneous packages, and establishing good statistical practice is challenging in any language. The tidymodels collection of packages offers a consistent, flexible framework for your modeling and machine learning work to address these problems. In this talk, we'll focus on three specific reasons to consider using tidymodels. We will start with model characteristics themselves, move to the wise management of your data budget, and finish with feature engineering.

Speaker: Julia Silge
Julia is a data scientist and software engineer at RStudio PBC where she works on open source modeling tools. She is both an international keynote speaker and a real-world practitioner focusing on data analysis and machine learning practice, and is the author of Text Mining with R with her coauthor David Robinson.
