# Segmentation using NMF decomposition -- Marcin Kosiński

From the nowadays segmentation, we require them to follow below features:
- it should be balanced,
- segments should be distinctive,
- the discovered over and under indexed features within segments should create a meaningful story,
- and in the best case the amount of differentiative factors that drives segmentation should be small.

The last requirement often is a bottleneck in the scenario of a survey where respondents are asked enormous amount of questions.

The solution, one from many, to this use case can be the nonnegative matrix factorization that in a one attempt segments respondents and their features!

I'll present concept of the NMF decomposition and I'll present applications in R, with the explanation of diagnostic plots.

Working with high dimensional data? Often facing the need to group observations? That's a good presentation for you.

Efficient R programming: tips, tricks, and some interesting packages -- Adolfo Alvarez

Learning R is a constant process, no matter if you are giving your first steps or you are already an R code star, there is always room to improve. In this talk we will try to agree on what is an efficient code, how to measure the efficiency of it, how to detect bottlenecks, and how to improve your code. Hopefully you will get some new ideas, packages or tricks you didn't know about!

Adolfo Alvarez is PhD in Business Management and Quantitative Methods, working as a data scientist in Analyx, and as adjunct professor in Collegium Da Vinci. His current main focus is to create, train, and develop data science teams.
