>> Newsflash! We're at a new venue, starting at 6:30pm and finishing at 8pm. Thanks to Sheffield Tech Parks for providing an amazing venue to support our meetup! <<
Where do you start with a machine learning problem? What are good algorithms and what techniques can you use to get good performance? We'll take a look at a Kaggle competition to find out!
We ran a similar session last month, but you didn't need to attend to come to this one. We're trying a different approach this time to help everyone get more out of the session.
We'll be looking at the same data set as last month - a Kaggle competition to predict house prices. This time, we've created a "getting started" notebook in the form of a Kaggle kernel. You can find it and make your own copy at:
There's no need to wait for the session - feel free to check it out and start exploring your own solutions now! If you have any problems, we'll be happy to help - either on the day, or on the discussion forum - https://www.meetup.com/sheffieldml/discussions/
You need: A computer, and if you want to use Kaggle online kernels rather than installing software yourself, you need a Kaggle account. You are not limited to using Python - if any of our many R enthusiasts have time to port the beginner's kernel from Python to R that would be great, and post in the forum if you do!
If you're late - no problem, just come anyway.
It's an opportunity to practise and learn with other machine learning and AI enthusiasts. Let's see how well we can do!
Thanks to Razor for their continued support of Sheffield ML!
