PyData Lancaster November Meetup

Hello and welcome to PyData Lancaster.

We will be having our second meeting in the end of November!

We have two talks lined up:

• Seizure Detection with Machine Learning - David Elliott

David is an Associate Lecturer and PhD student in the Lancaster University Psychology department. He will give an overview of optimization and classical machine learning techniques that he has used to develop algorithms able to detect seizures in NHS diagnostic records.

• Natural Language Processing: An Overview - Ryan Callihan

Ryan is a Computational Linguist and Data Scientist at Relative Insight. He will be giving an introductory talk on Natural Language Processing (NLP), outlining: What it is, What the current state of it is, and Where it is going.

If you have any questions, send us a message on your preferred social media platform.

Location:

The Storey

We will meet at the Storey, in the Reading Room. Coffee, tea, and flapjacks will be provided free of charge (thanks sponsors!)

We welcome everyone with an interest in all things data, from beginners to seasoned pros, whether you work in linguistics, journalism, eCommerce, physics, or anything in between. We're big fans of open source. Python and R are data science staples, but other languages and perspectives are more than welcome!
