Machine Learning Working Group, Fall 2018

We meet on alternating Wednesdays from 3-5pm at D-Lab (Barrows 356). We have no expectation of prior machine learning experience, and simply go through one algorithm a meeting, with about 30 minutes each in R & Python. We also incorporate lightning talks and other guest presentations throughout our meetings.

Fall 2018 - unsupervised methods

We are always looking for student/staff/faculty presenters. Please contact us if you are interested!
