This group is for data hackers, scientists, analysts, statisticians, engineers, enthusiasts, gurus, ninjas, wizards - whatever your preferred label, if you possess hands-on experience with data and use it to solve problems, then this group is for you. We'll cover a wide range of data topics, mostly those relevant to the tech industry: prediction, visualization, data cleaning, real-time reporting, user tracking, split testing, etc... The group is language agnostic but will emphasize ubiquitous/op …

New York City has opened up hundreds of datasets through NYC OpenData. https://data.ny.gov/ The goal of the group is to use data and visualizations to tell stories about the NYC.

This is a group for anyone interested in research concerning artificial neural networks, deep learning, and so on. The format varies between discussion groups, guest speakers, and tutorials. Proposed topics include: training deep belief networks with unsupervised pre-training/supervised finetuning, recurrent neural networks, different optimization methods, scalable architectures for large networks across clusters, practical GPU programming (with Python!), NNs for NLP, using NNs in robotics, visu …
