Hi Folks! in this 2nd meetup, we'll start focussing on the Hackathon by LKQ that will happen in Meetup #5 (February 2019)...
... Introducing... "The ML 20 Minute Challenges!".... see below
... So we'll start focusing on some PRACTICAL SKILLS and exercises you can start doing: Yu and Open Lab are going to demonstrate some "20 Minute Challenges", which are practical things that a developer or beginner in ML can do using off-the-shelf tools like Google Tensorflow, to build simple applications or real life tasks
... We're also announcing certain JOBS AVAILABLE (LKQ, Yitu, Caspian)
... And our featured speaker this week is CASPIAN, the fastest growing ML company based in Newcastle
... Will also let you know about the VISA TALK event about the Tier 1 Exceptional Talent visa..... probably happening in November or January at this rate (we have a few other big events happening in November, so trying to fit everything and everyone together)
... We would also like to welcome the pre-accelerator IGNITE taking place right now in TusPark :)
