Kaggle Munich - March 2018

TNG Technology Consulting (https://www.tngtech.com) will host our March Meetup and will sponsor delicious pizza and fresh beverages! A big `Thank You' from Kaggle Munich. Save the date and stay tuned for more details!

We will start off with talks by Connor and Nick. Then we work on Kaggle problems in teams. Don't worry if you are new to Kaggle, we will do a match-making at the event. The meetup is the perfect opportunity for your first contact with Kaggle!

AGENDA

19:00 Doors open -- enjoy pizza and beer!

19:15 - 19:35 Connor: Limits and Weaknesses of Deep Learning
Nick: -- CANCELLED

19:35 - 21:45 Hacking on Kaggle problems in groups

FEATURED COMPETITION

This time, we will experiment with two featured competitions:

https://www.kaggle.com/c/talkingdata-adtracking-fraud-detection
https://www.kaggle.com/c/imaterialist-challenge-furniture-2018

The idea is to have one focussed topic where we do not have to start from scratch and can jump into the nitty-gritty of the competition. Besides the featured competition, we will of course still have groups working on their personal favorites!

AUDIENCE

No matter whether you are a new to data science or a Kaggle grandmaster, every data aficionado is warmly welcome to join the party and have fun hacking on Kaggle problems!
