Learn Data Science by Doing Kaggle Competitions: Galaxy Zoo

We meet every two weeks to learn more about data science by discussing Kaggle competitions (https://www.kaggle.com). If you want to get better at data wrangling, feature engineering, model selection or just want to have fun solving non-trivial data science problems, this is the right group to join!

This time we will be discussion the Galaxy Zoo (https://www.kaggle.com/c/galaxy-zoo-the-galaxy-challenge). Should be lots of deep learning in this one. Matt E has kindly offered to take us through the competition.

To get the most out of the meetup, please try to look at the competition beforehand. Don't worry if you don't understand it all. The meetup is for questions and discussion and we try to make it accessible for people of all experience levels.

At the end of the meeting we will discuss which competitions we want to look at for future meetups. Bring your suggestions!

Note: To steer clear of the holiday season we will not be having at meetup on Dec. 29. The next meetup will be Jan. 12, 2017.
