This meetup is about sharing knowledge & learning the latest developments about statistics, machine learning, math, analytics, parallel algorithms, distributed systems.

Join us to learn about Oracle Big Data/NoSQL and related technologies, including use cases, new features and exciting networking with other professionals.

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 …

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.

A Bay Area based Hadoop user group focused on helping Hadoop users share experiences, problems and solutions, as well as learn new skills for building large-scale Hadoop-based systems.

Meet with local Machine Knitters in the San Jose area of California. Chat and discuss the art of machine knitting. All machine brand's users are welcome, such as Bond, Brother, Studio/Silver Reed, Passap, or circular sock machines. Don't have a knitting machine yet? Come along and learn about this fun hobby. Or if you have a knitting machine languishing under the bed, get it out and we'll help you to get it back in use.

We meet almost every second and fourth Sundays every month to discuss AI topics such as: - Symbolic and SubSymbolic Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Life, and Artificial Intuition - Complexity theory, Model theory, Model Free Methods - Semantic Web, Ontology based systems - Robotics and Robot Ethics - Linguistics, Document understanding, and Semantics - Evolutionary Computation - GA and GP - Computer Consciousness, Novelty, and Creativity - Neuroscience, Connectome Algorithms - Human …

This group is an interactive, developer-friendly introduction to analytics, machine learning and data science topics. The focus will be on learning practical techniques to working with data. We will be doing R, Python, Ruby and a little bit of Java/C++. We will also focus on real-life problems in various domains such as healthcare, energy etc. and apply data to solve those problems. Oh, btw - G.O.D.s => Geeking-out on data science. :-) See you there.

This is a group of users and others interested in using and learning more about open source business intelligence tools grouped together under the name of Pentaho. These include Weka (machine learning), Kettle for loading data into a database (ETL), Montrian (OLAP), and other java-based applications for reporting.

We're a group of folk broadly interested in the application of data science and sustainability, discussing questions like: what data feeds can improve supply chain sustainability? what algorithms should be applied to water conservation? what challenges of scale lie behind automated energy efficiency? what can be learnt from quantitative finance, search, and other related fields? We meet on the first Thursday of every month at EcoFactor's offices in Redwood City.

Do you believe "Data (Big or Small) provides for Infinite Analytics"? Are you from the Insurance Industry Space?

The Big Data Analytics Speaker Series is an Adobe/Omniture sponsored speaker series that is open to the general public. Meetings will be conducted monthly in a workshop style meet-up at Adobe's downtown San Jose headquarters and present expert speakers from academia and industry to discuss topics related to the analysis of big data sets and range from tutorials to expert roundtable discussions and cover analytical models to best practices. There will also be specific topics related to mobile, so …

A group for all Robot Enthusiasts and Roboticists in Silicon Valley

Data is more difficult to understand than text, let alone Big Data, and Big data is driving Cloud Computing now. Computation Virtualization is not enough for big data, both Data virtualization and Communication Virtualization are also necessary in order to make true Real-time Big Velocity Stream Computing happen We believe the true innovation lies on Algorithmic Innovation, not just hardware innovation or software innovation. Right now algorithm creation is an art instead of a science, and we f …

Hi Everyone! As you know Professor Daphne Koller (Stanford University) has been kind enough to share & teach very interesting topic - Probabilistic Graphical Model (webpage https://www.coursera.org/pgm). Being actively interested in this area, I am forming this group for the engineering students/graduates/working professionals to discuss about the topics being taught, discuss assignments, form hangout groups(google+) and ask questions.

We're a group that uses hacking, stats, and machine learning to dig up information in the world or sports wagering. Programmers, betters, and everyone else who enjoys crunching numbers or sharing betting systems is welcome to contribute and work on ideas.

This is a Robotics and Artificial Intelligence study group. To kick off - We are going to go through online lectures in the "Intro to Robotics" course taught by Oussama Khatib at Stanford and try to solve assignments. (Prerequisite - Matrix Algebra). It is a graduate level course. We are hoping to go through two lectures per week with assignment discussion on weekend mornings. Hopefully later work on real world projects etc.

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

What is CloudStack? Apache CloudStack (Incubating) is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable, hypervisor agnostic Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. CloudStack is used by a number of service providers to offer public cloud services, and by many companies to provide an on-premise (private) cloud offerings. Apache CloudStack is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foun …
