Hadley (https://www.linkedin.com/in/hadleywickham) is also running a 2 day R workshop (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/master-r-developer-workshop-melbourne-tickets-22546200292) on Mon & Tue

Pieter

Pieter (https://www.linkedin.com/in/pieter-luitjens-67173751) will give a talk on the history of neural networks and what deep learning actually is (at least, what it used to mean) & what makes it different to the previous generation of neural networks.

There will be a nominal charge for this meetup for 2 reasons:

1. Last time Hadley was in town there was a waiting list of over 250, so we need commitment that you are going to turn up so everyone has an opportunity to attend.

2. We are still short of our goal of $10k for the Cambodian Children's Trust, so this is where the proceeds will be going.

Please note there is a strict attendance limit of 160, so it's first in best dressed.

Any students who want to attend, you can adjust the price down to $10.
