The Boston Data Mining meetup focuses on making data mining accessible to everyone. It aims to be inclusive to all regardless if you are a beginner or expert in statistical modeling, machine learning, data mining, or any of the analytics (business, predictive, etc). Our talks will focus on the practical side of data mining and analytics by showing attendees how to perform data modeling in a non-programming environment. To achieve that goal we employ RapidMiner; an open source data mining platfor …

We are interested in starting a makerspace on Cape Cod. What is a makerspace? A makerspace is a collaborative learning environment that allows members to work on projects related to science, technology, art, and design. Here is the Wikipedia definition. How would it operate? We envision that our makerspace will be community-driven and membership will be open to everybody. Members will be able to share equipment and tools, take classes, and exchange ideas. Membership and workshop fees will cover …

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

Recent advances in neuroscience and neurotechnology are propelling man-machine interfacing into a new era in which machines such as computers and prostethic limbs are more directly and tightly coupled to our brain's neural activity. Examples of these advances include: mice whose brains have been altered using optogenetics learn and unlearn on command; a monkey who controls an artificial arm and feeds himself via a brain-machie interface; scientists who can render an image imagined or dreamed of …

This is your chance to prototype your ideas before going to VCs or for seed funding. We all have dream applications that need machine learning and predictive analytics. We can hack those app. using available machine learning APIs (from Microsoft, Google, BigML, BPA EyeQ, and so on). No need to learn those complicated math or gymnastics of matrices. This is also your way to find a co-founder, good developers, and some good feedback. By the way, investors are also welcome; coding is good for our …

Boston Algorithmic Trading is for anyone interested in creating and using algorithms in the financial markets.

Whether you sew and would be motivated to finish more projects with a group or you're a beginner looking to learn, this is the group for you. There are quilting, knitting, and fabric arts groups around here, but I haven't found anything for apparel sewers, and I know I can't be the only one, so I'm going to try to get the ball rolling. Bring your machine or give me a heads up in advance and you can use my spare.

Purpose?

Boston is the greatest city in America for rowing, and it's a pretty good place to be gay. So where are all the LGBT rowers? I want to start a meetup group that will let us meet and socialize without making people commit to being part of a boat that has an ongoing practice schedule. So this meetup is starting out as a SOCIAL group. This is NOT a learn-to-row group, and it is NOT being organized to line up nine people to go out in a boat. Maybe later, but just now right now. For people who have g …
