What we’re about
This is a Statistical and Data Science user group for the Connecticut River Valley and Five College Area.
We were founded in January 2013 originally as an R users group. However, we have become more of an all-purpose Statistics and Data Science meetup group, hosting and cross-listing public talks and events related to these fields.
The goal of this meetup is to provide a central repository/bulletin board for many events data-science/statistics related that are occurring in Western Mass, and specifically the Pioneer Valley. We post or cross-list events/workshops/lectures from area academic departments that relate to Data Science and Statistics. We also create and host events of our own. If you know of a relevant event that we haven't listed but you think we should, we encourage you to post it directly. Also, if you have an idea for a workshop or would like to host/give a talk or workshop, please let us know.

Mapping the Liberal Arts: A Semantic Similarity Approach
Amherst College Science Center A131, East Drive, Amherst, ma, USHi All,
The Amherst College Data Science Initiative (https://www.amherst.edu/about/science_at_amherst/data-science-initiative) is organizing a talk about quantifying how college students choose which courses to take. The proposed method uses a semantic similarity approach with neural networks, applied on 17 years of data from Amherst College.
Please join us on Thu, 11/6, at 4pm, in the Science Center of Amherst College (25 East Drive, Amherst, MA), room SCCE A131.
Light fancy refreshments will be served before the talk.
Please see the flyer attached.
Feel free to spread the word, as the DSI events are free and open to the public.

We hope to see you there!
