Astoria Tech Meetup #8 - Intro to Machine Learning

Hey fellow Astorians!

Our eighth monthly meetup is happening at our usual time and place. Whether you're in tech or just interested, all are welcome.

Our main event will be a short presentation by Blane Cordes, one of the founders of Astoria Tech Meetup. He'll be discussing his early experiences in machine learning and the lessons he has learned thus far.

AGENDA:
6:30 - 7:30: Quick discussions - submit topics via Lean Coffee*
7:30 - 8:00: "First Steps in Machine Learning" by Blane Cordes
8:00 - 8:30: Group project planning

The goal of our meetups moving forward will be twofold:

• educate ourselves
• work on Astoria-focused projects together as a community

• Members of this meetup built Lean Coffee, a web app that allows anyone to submit topics that they'd like to discuss during the first hour. Feel free to submit any tech or tech-adjacent topics:
