Machine Learning
Darren Cook
Darren will be speaking about machine learning, specifically with H2O, a fast, scalable, open source machine learning system with APIs in R, Python, CoffeeScript (and quite a few others). After an introduction there will be a live coding session to show using deep learning on a hard machine learning problem.
There might even be time for Q&A and to give away a couple of copies of my book: Practical Machine Learning with H2O, published by O'Reilly. All in 30 minutes.
