Dear Community,
get ready for the 18th Knowledgefeed of the VDSG!
Please note, that we are meeting at a different location this time. For this Knowledgefeed we will be meeting at CIR Lab at Medical University of Vienna (http://www.cir.meduniwien.ac.at/), Anna Spiegel Forschungsgebäude, Entrance: Level 3, north side of the building, 1090 Vienna (map (https://www.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=48.219658,16.349230)). Thanks again guys for sharing the spirit!
For those of you joining us for the first time, a short description below.
During these sessions we are inviting specialists presenting their hands-on experience, current project or simply ideas regarding topics related to our field of interest (the reason for this rather wide description is based on the wide scope of data science (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_science) itself… ;-)). Furthermore this gives you the opportunity to ask our lecturer of the evening questions, discuss your ideas and of course enjoy a beer in company of some interesting folks!
In addition please do not hesitate to present your own projects, ideas or thoughts…we are more than gladly sharing the stage with you! Please refer to our last blog-post (http://viennadatasciencegroup.at/2016/09/06/power-to-the-people/) / Discussion entry (http://www.meetup.com/Vienna-Data-Science-Group-Meetup/messages/boards/thread/50113851) for further details.
This Knowledgefeed is featuring following talks:
