ML India Gurgaon chapter - First Meetup

[Nishank Varshney]

ML-India is pleased to inform that it has started the Gurgaon chapter and its first meetup was held on 14 May, 2016.

Read about it here.

They began the session with the introduction on machine learning pipeline and its fundamentals. This built the required momentum for everyone to get their hands dirty on the actual machine learning problem. They had a practical hands-on session on data interpretation and analysis followed by simple model building using Linear-Regression.

Some interesting high-level points of discussion were:

• We should look at data and try to identify outliers.
• There are different visualization tools out there like bar charts, scatter, box plots and quartile ranges to get a sense of your data.
• How should we handle sparse data?
• The basic machine learning pipeline to build a predictive model.

The participation, response and feedback from the participants was very encouraging! The audience enjoyed the discussion. We’ll keep up with having such engaging meetups on ML, and having researchers and practitioners involved in ML to discuss their work and insights.
