For everyone attending the event tonight at Farfetch, unfortunately the receptionist of the building will be leaving at 5 PM this evening. Ankur and myself will make sure to have someone downstairs able to get you in up until 6:40 PM. If you’re running late, please add a message here, so that we can come downstairs and let you in as soon as you arrive. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Great seeing everyone tonight! Thanks to @iamgianluca for hosting.

If anyone’s interested, this is the Inclusive Images Challenge I was talking about: https://www.kaggle.com/c/inclusive-images-challenge.

And this is the code for training Imagenet in 18 minutes (https://github.com/diux-dev/imagenet18), since I know I didn’t do a good job describing all the techniques they used.

To facilitate the logistic, could you please sign up in the Google Sheet after we settle for a date, before the event? This would help us enormously.

Many thanks!

iamgianluca · November 12, 2018, 7:36pm

FYI, the pool to chose the date of the next study group will close tomorrow at 6 PM.

henripal · November 14, 2018, 3:33pm

thank you!!!

reshama · November 15, 2018, 9:16pm

@iamgianluca So, given the snow, I am going to stay in this evening. Sorry to miss it, again.

henripal · November 15, 2018, 9:41pm

Same, sorry!!

prratek · November 15, 2018, 9:57pm

I’m not gonna make it today either. Sorry guys!

henripal · November 15, 2018, 11:19pm

For those of you who did make it (and everyone in the group really) - I have a Twitter bot that’s dormant and ready to rumble.
It can search, filter tweets, retweet, reply, and tweet any function of anything.

I was trying to come up with a way to use it as a fun NLP application but anything I’m coming up with is either spammy or very spammy. If anyone has an idea that they’d like to work on I can introduce you

paul · November 15, 2018, 11:35pm

It seems that we don’t have a quorum and we will try to meet on Monday.

VarunT · November 15, 2018, 11:37pm

So today’s meeting is cancelled?

paul · November 16, 2018, 12:02am

Yes today’s meeting is cancelled.

paul · November 16, 2018, 1:55am

I’d love to hear more about it next time we meet. Maybe it could be useful for scraping selected data, perhaps it could even ask useful questions to extract information from humans (or other bots). Sounds super spammy indeed

iamgianluca · November 16, 2018, 3:40pm

How do you feel about fixing the day of ALL future study group events to Monday?

Time: 6:30 PM - 9 PM
Location: Farfetch, 30 West 21st St, 6th Floor, New York, NY 10010

This would make the logistics much easier.

danield · November 19, 2018, 11:07pm
