We'll discuss different kinds of algorithms. First, we'll try to understand basic algorithms. We'll also discuss simple puzzles and brain teasers. If you are not from mathematical background, you'll find it simple and if you are from computer science, you'll find it interesting. You can also post any algorithms you want to discuss in particular. Learning Practical Applications: We'll try to understand algorithms practical applications. The challenge is not to write complex algorithms but to …

R is an open source programming language for statistical computing, data analysis, and graphical visualization. R has an estimated one million users worldwide, and its user base is growing. While most commonly used within academia, in fields such as computational biology and applied statistics, it is gaining currency in commercial areas such as quantitative finance and business intelligence. Among R's strengths as a language are its powerful built-in tools for inferential statistics, its comp …

The SF Data Mining meetup focuses on all aspects of the data pipeline--from data acquisition and big data storage to machine learning and data visualization. Current Goals Host speakers Host educational workshops Host volunteer events Highlight existing events around the bay area and organize transportation, etc Spread awareness of rising data mining technologies Who is this meetup for? Data engineers, analysts, scientists, and other practitioners Data visualization developers and designers J …

Join this small group for a step-by-step approach to learn the R language. Each session is filled with real-life examples and participants are welcome to suggest and present topics. If you have just started with R this is the perfect chance to find out about data analysis with a group of people rather than on your own.

A meeting of the minds for the startup founders and engineers leveraging Scala to build great startups. Scala allows for distributed data processing and type safe web development, making it possible to build a whole startup in a type safe, functional, test-driven way. Let's discuss how we do it!

There are demands for good mathematicians to write algorithms that can churn through billions or trillions of data points and show where patterns emerge. The Economist data issue raised this issue as follows: "During the recent financial crisis it became clear that banks and rating agencies had been relying on models which, although they required a vast amount of information to be fed in, failed to reflect financial risk in the real world. This was the first crisis to be sparked by big data—and …

Focused on bringing Solano County's technology gurus and business professionals together to discuss, share ideas and solve real-world problems in data mining, business intelligence and social media.

Calling all newcomers transitioning to the field of Data Mining and Visualization in South Bay. Lets get-together to code, discuss projects, and materials that can help get jump started in this new and very exciting area. Looking forward to exploring and learning more about this field with you.

Big Data is in vogue, its the new buzzword. But what is Big Data? Do we know all the pieces of the Big Data puzzle? This group will cover all the five pieces of Big Data - Infrastructure, Data Storage/Management, Data Sciences, Visualization and one missing piece. We will cover one piece of the puzzle in every meetup. The idea is to have a holistic view of Big Data.

Open to all interested in PyData, NumPy, SciPy, pandas, and all the cool new Python data tools.

Good data visualization help you to tell good stories, both in the field of business and academia. Good data visualization provide you quick insight of large data and better communicate to business people! Our goal in the group is to share the successful experience about data visualization, including both technical software and creative ideas!
