Let’s use this wiki thread to keep track of upcoming conferences, Meetups, and hackathons in the Bay Area and elsewhere related to deep learning, data science, and AI. We can carpool, meet at the event, or simply discuss.
Here are a few to start. This thread is a wiki so feel free to edit my post!
It looks like there are some good Kagglers at the H2O.ai company in the bay area. Here are some top 100 competitors I found in the Bay Area, but perhaps this sort of talk can be organized through the local Kaggler’s meetup.
Deepgram is putting on a deep learning hackathon at General Assembly in SF, March 24-26. Google Brain and Baidu will be there and we’ll have top A.I. peeps doing office hours to give advice.
If you live in Perth, Australia there is a group of us going through part 1 of the course. Currently up to lesson 4. We meet up on Thursday nights at 6pm on St Georges Terrace in the city.
I thought they were going to provide datasets. If we wanna go with our own ideas, I propose using Kaggle datasets. I’ve already started on a couple of the Kaggle competitions – the Nature Conservancy fisheries monitoring, and the data science bowl lung cancer detection. I’m interested in the YouTube video understanding one, too.
There were so many talented people working on great projects. It really made the DLHackathon a success. We had a blast meeting everyone and can’t wait for next one
Great idea. I’m trying to get together a group of Deep Learners in Toronto. If you know anyone here looking to meet up regularly and learn together, send me a message!
We can do some Stammtisch meetups.
