Machine Learning Night - How To Screw Up Statistical Evaluation

Machine Learning Night happens every Monday at Fat Cat Fab Lab. Our group will discuss Machine Learning, Information Retrieval, Natural Language Processing, Knowledge Representation, and Artificial Intelligence.

Meeting topics will include:

Statistical evaluation is an important part of most ML
projects, as well as lots of other important stuff (clinical
trials, testing investment strategies, and so on).
Unfortunately there are many ways to screw it up,
some of them quite subtle.

We'll take an amusing and instructive tour through some of
the ways things can go wrong, with the aim of helping you
avoid these pitfalls in the future. I'll include a number
of real life case studies, mostly from the financial and
medical fields.

We are a small group of students, computer scientists, engineers, academics, and entrepreneurs with a deep interest in these fields & related technologies.

Meeting topics are varied and can focus on current trends and technologies, best practices for development in big-data environments, and introductory discussions about machine learning and how to incorporate it into your life and business
