Hi everyone,
After yesterday After-Christmas gift, I hope you are having a jolly day like @mrfabulous1 like to say.
My name is Farid and I live in the wonderful city of Montreal (despite the -12 degrees today which is pretty mild in comparison to -30 sometimes). I did my master and my PhD in biomedical engineering in France, moved to Montreal where I did a postdoc at the University of Montreal, worked a couple of years as a researcher, then started a company where I developed StatMap3D a Statistical Brain Electrical Activity Mapping software (it looks like a weather forecast map but for brain electrical activity), and DataFinder (a multidisciplinary clinical and research database), gave several Java courses around 2000 when Java was a thing.
A couple of years ago, I accidentally discovered fastai course while I was following Andrew Ng’s excellent courses. I followed all fastai deep learning courses and I learned so much. Every fastai course is a gem packed with concentrated useful information. In my opinion, fastai courses are the best.
When Jeremy started the fastai v2 walkthrus last September, I got hooked to this new library once and for all. Fastai v2 is really a Deep Learning Library on Steroids. I cannot thank enough both @jeremy and @sgugger for their hard work and their vision to transform an already popular fastai v1 into such a powerful and promising library as this new one. I am pretty confident that they will do it again in a near future (with swift4tf maybe 
)
I am actually porting (to fastai v2) the excellent timeseries modules that @oguiza built, he is the one who started the fantastic timeseries study group. I already have a working version. I am in the process to clean-up and polish my notebooks and right after that I will share them with you.
I would like to also start a timeseries forecasting study group where I will post what I learned and the resources (articles, libraries, blogs, etc.) that might be useful for others. Is there anybody interested in this area?
Thank you all for contributing in building such a fantastic community!
