Kaggle / Machine Learning Tutorial

Let's take a look at the Kaggle contest and go through a tutorial!

The plan is to go through the Titanic tutorial, which will introduce us to Kaggle, training models in general, and building Random Forrest model specifically. The tutorial is a zero-install, using a web-based notebook for writing code -- so you should bring a laptop with a browser at least.

An advanced approach would be to get this working locally instead of in a web-notebook. That'd require a local Python installation and some libraries.

In general we'll customize this walk-through depending on the active attendees, with the goal of striking a good balance between overview of what's going on and a deep-dive on details.

We're looking for speakers! It's OK if you've never spoken before or if you've spoken hundreds of times, we want to hear from you!

We're looking for talks about anything interesting to programmers, come share about your favorite language or framework, or learn something new and talk about how it went! We're hoping for talks about anything but here are a few things members have mentioned wanting to learn about recently: Go, C, C++, Haskell, Erlang, and Elixir.

Contact Jess or Brock on the left or through whatever means you have :)
