I’m curious about interest for a sporadic meeting of folks that are actively doing machine learning. The goals would be something like:
Seek and provide help for specific topics (e.g., how to make a certain type of neural net)
Read and discuss papers
Look over code and play with new tools
The group would meet sporadically, as needed. We won’t impinge on the main data science working group in that we likely will be getting into the weeds. That is not to say that this group is only for folks that are super users. Far from it. However, this group is not the place to pick up the basics of machine learning but more for folks that are actively trying to use this stuff. For learning the basics, please suggest topics for the main data science working group, that way lots of folks could provide input and benefit.
Please drop a note here if you have any interest in this and we can figure out what to do.
