Learn Data Science by Doing Kaggle Competitions: Predicting Hourly Rainfall

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 week we are looking at the How Much Did It Rain? II (https://www.kaggle.com/c/how-much-did-it-rain-ii) competition. We think it will give us an opportunity to explore recurrent neural networks (RNN).

Kedar Page has volunteered to be our guide through the competition at the meetup. (Thanks, Kedar!)

To get the most out of the meetup, please try to look at the competition and its tutorials beforehand. It's OK if you don't understand it all. The meetup is for questions and discussion.

At the end of the meeting we will choose the competition to discuss for the following meetup. Bring your suggestions!
