Events

In the SITraN group of Machine Learning of the University of Sheffield we are organizing a series of meetups to bring together people interested in Data Science! The meetings typically consist on presentations of relevant contributors to the Data Science field combined with informal discussion, poster sessions, round tables etc. In our first meeting we organized the first dynamic poster session using IPython-notebooks! You can have a look at the IPython-notebooks presented in the previous events here.

Feel free to join us! Actually, we are making up a mail list with everyone interested in these events. Do not hesitate to contact j.h.gonzalez@sheffield.ac.uk if you want to be part of it! Details about future the events will be updated in this web.
