You can force a story upo n it\, or you can breath life into it to let it speak for itself. Myfanw y "\;Myffy"\; Hopkins has been using advanced statistical method s\, R\, and machine learning for over 10 years to transform data into in formation for decision making. The tools provided by R packages are unpa ralleled at quickly transforming data into a working predictive model. M yffy brings the statistical and data mining expertise needed to make R a highly productive space for generating predictive models using machine learning methods. In her talk\, Myffy will show how R makes the difficul t statistical concepts of Predictive Analytics manageable to execute. Se eing the actual results of a predictive model will help get through the more grueling parts of the learning curve to becoming a Data Scientist. \;\n \;\nTalk #2 - Automated Feature Selection of Predictors in E lectronic Medical Records Data - Jessica Minnier \;\n \;\nJessica Minnier is an assistant professor of biostatistics at Oregon Health & \; Sciences University in the OHSU-PSU School of Public Health. Her rese arch interests include statistical methods for risk prediction and class ification\, the analysis of 'omics data\, and the analysis of large data sets such as electronic health records data. She is interested in repro ducible research as well as statistical computing and data visualization with R and shiny. \;\n \;\nIn her talk\, Jessica will talk about "\;emrselect"\; - https://github.com/jminnier/emrselect. "\ ;emrselect"\; is an R package that automates the feature selection m ethod for phenotype prediction with Electronic Medical Record (EMR) data to reduce the number of candidate predictors and in turn improve model performance by relying entirely on unlabeled observations. The proposed method generates a comprehensive surrogate for the underlying phenotype with an unsupervised clustering of disease status based on several highl y predictive features such as diagnosis codes and mentions of the diseas e in text fields available in the entire set of EMR data. A sparse regre ssion model is then built with the estimated outcomes and remaining cova riates to identify those features most informative of the phenotype of i nterest. Empirical results suggest that this procedure reduces the numbe r of gold-standard labels necessary for phenotyping\, thereby harnessing the automated power of EMR data and improving efficiency. \;\n \ ;\nWho Should Attend? \;\n \;\nAnyone who is interested in explori ng the world of R and Machine Learning or just curious to learn what the y are.

These applications require high levels of software assurance and resilie nce\, but virtually all AI research has focused on raw performance witho ut paying attention to questions of robustness and resilience. \;\n&# 13\;\nIn this talk\, I will survey AI research that aims to create robus t systems. I will consider both robustness to “known unknowns” and robus tness to “unknown unknowns” — that is\, to unmodeled aspects of the envi ronment. \;\n \;\nOne technology that is relevant to creating robu st AI systems is anomaly detection. In the second part of the talk\, I w ill survey the work at Oregon State on anomaly detection. I’ll discuss o ur recent research on applying anomaly detection to problems of fraud de tection and equipment diagnosis and discuss methods for explaining anoma ly alarms to an analyst and incorporating analyst feedback into the anom aly detection process. \;\n \;\nBio: \;\nDr. Tom Dietterich (AB Oberlin College 1977\; MS University of Illinois 1979\; PhD Stanford Un iversity 1984) is Professor Emeritus and Director of Intelligent Systems Research in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science a t Oregon State University\, where he joined the faculty in 1985.

However\, creating these systems requires us to reverse engineer some of the most fundamen tal aspects of life\, which can be difficult and overwhelming — especial ly if you don’t know where to start.   Designing Intelligence will: • He lp the you understand what’s happening in the artificial intelligence sp ace and where it’s been. • Explain why you’ll be making one of these sys tems sooner than you think. • Teach you how to create the products that will thrive in the age of automation. • Give you language to help you se ll your ideas to your team and bring your dreams to life. This is one ta lk you’ll regret missing. Guest Speaker Joe Toscano will be presenting -  @realjoet. Formerly an Experience Designer for R/GA\, Joe worked as a c onsultant for Google\, where he and his team oversaw the Google product ecosystem and helped Google take products to market. This meant he and h is team had to understand how each product strategically fit within the Google ecosystem now\, how each product would evolve\, over time\, and h ow the decisions being made by individual teams would affect Google’s la rger business goals\, as a whole. Understanding this allowed him and his team to be confident that the decisions they were making would strategi cally move Google’s business forward. Joe has since left his job at R/GA to pursue writing his book\, Designing Intelligence. The book is being written to help people understand the current state of automation\, wher e it's been and where it's going\, how to design products that will thri ve in the age of automation\, and what role we\, as technical talent\, p lay in creating an inclusive future through automation. He hopes to help create ethical automation designers who not only understand best practi ces of making these systems but also understand the impact they'll be ma king on the world\, through automation.

I t was exciting to have so many of you come out during February’s snow-ma geddon. This month\, we prepared a balanced agenda to have new contents\ , and to incrementally build on what you’ve learned. On the other hand\, we built the labs in a way that will allow those who couldn’t beat the storm to catch up quickly. \;\n \;\nAl Kari will begin with an int roduction and a technology update\, then he moves on to cover a key topi c in TensorFlow: Saving your models so you can use them to classify new data. The discussion will cover best practices and techniques to use you r trained models for inference and transfer learning. \;\n \;\nAl is Manceps’ Co-founder and CEO (www.manceps.com) where he helps enterpri se clients with their Digital Transformation and intelligent computing r oadmaps. \;\n \;\nNext\, Andrew Ferlitsch will take you on a code- along adventure via Colaboratory- An Introduction to Constructing Neural Networks and Hyper-parameter Tuning. \;\n \;\nYou’ve kicked the t ires with 5 digits hand signs last month. Now\, we progressively build l ayers of a neural network for the larger dataset of the American Sign La nguage hand gestures including all the letters of the alphabet. We will cover a fully connected neural network\, proceed to a deep neural networ k\, and then add dropout layers to tackle overfitting. Then we wrap up w ith the fundamentals of hyper-parameter tuning. \;\nThe lab requires a laptop with a modern browser and will be at a modest pace to provide s ufficient opportunity to ask questions and share insights. \;\n \; \nAs Chief Data Scientist at Manceps\, Andrew works on solving a diverse set of problems using Deep Learning and advanced analytics. \;\n \;\nFinally\, David Molina will demystify Neural Networks once and for a ll\, visually! \;\nWhat does bias do in a Neural Network? Why are wei ghts important? What happens when we select a high learning rate? How do we know how many inputs to select? How many hidden layers a model needs in order to predict accurately? How does a Neural Network work? These a re questions we ask when we begin studying Machine Learning as we encoun ter our first Neural Network. David will explore visually what’s behind the code\, and what happens inside a Neural Network when it runs. \;\ n \;\nDavid is an Industrial Engineer with five years corporate exper ience in building databases\, managing and analyzing large data sets\, a nd optimizing systems and processes. He is currently studying Machine Le arning and consulting for companies in his native country of Colombia.&# 13\;\n \;\nREMEMBER to bring your laptop \;\n \;\nPizza and dri nks sponsored by Intel. Links to the labs will be posted shortly. \;\ n \;\nHope you have a great time learning and networking.\n\nTags: te nsorflow\, Deep Learning\, machine learning\, Artificial Intelligence\, data science\, Digital Transformation\, python\n\nImported from: http:// calagator.org/events/1250473395 URL:http://bit.ly/tfnw-3 SUMMARY:TensorFlow Northwest User Group LOCATION:Vacasa: 926 NW 13th Ave #200\, Portland OR 97209 us SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180228T034727Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180315T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180315T183000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180228T034727Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181103T162411Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250473353 DESCRIPTION:***RSVP ON EVENTBRITE HERE*** We all want to go on a vacation \, choosing the right hotel can be work.

If we are classifying several thousands of images it's fine if we have som e miss-classification detecting a cat or a dog but if we have our model making important decisions\, for example\, a miss-classification in a se lf-driving car or giving a medical diagnostic. Probabilistic programming allows us to deal with real-world uncertainty. Let's explore with Tenso rFlow probability how we can improve predictions adding randomness into our models. \;\n \;\n8.15 pm – 9.00 pm: Coding and learning sessio n.

Agenda: 6:00 p.m.: Food\, beverage\ , and networking 6:40 p.m.: Welcome message by Karl Fezer 6:45 p.m: Spea ker 1: "\;Transfer Learning\, or How to Stand on the Shoulders of Gi ants"\; - James DiPadua7:30 p.m: Speaker 2: "\;Quantum Mechanics for Modeling Composite Semantic Spaces"\; - Connor Favreau8:15 p.m. - 8:30: Project Ideas. Pitch your Project Ideas to this meetup group 8:3 0: End Speaker 1 Details: Abstract: There's been a mountain of research into Deep Neural Networks' practical applications in image\, audio and t ext processing. But these deep networks are often built on large corpuse s of data (such as ImageNet or Wikipedia). But that may not apply direct ly to your domain. Gathering data specific to your problem space may not only be a lengthy process but an expensive one too. That makes the busi ness win a hard sell. Transfer Learning can dramatically eliminate many of those problems\, quickly. In 'How to stand on the shoulders of giants \,' we'll discuss the research background into Transfer Learning and how to implement the process in either Keras or PyTorch. The goal is for li steners to feel comfortable with the concept and prepared to begin resea rching an application in their workspaces. Bio: James is a wanderer\, ti nkerer\, and ponderer. Not one to be pinned down\, he's more comfortable in the abstract than in the known. He embraces ambiguity with a bearhug . That's a trick of course. He bear hugs the ambiguity into little mathe matical boxes and then says "\;Dance!"\; and\, oh\, how that amb iguity dances! James currently hangs his hat at Vacasa where he works as a Senior Data Scientist tackling a myriad of growth-objectives with eng ineering and machine learning. Speaker 2 Details: Five years ago\, Word2 Vec offered a leap forward for the average data scientist to perform eff icient algorithms in Natural Language Processing. From a body of text\, Word2Vec generates a semantic space\, in which the trained word vectors are often highly associated with their meaning. The next leap\, a semant ic space for phrases and sentences\, proves tougher both computationally and in faithfully representing a composite meaning over multiple words. Surprisingly\, quantifying particle interactions a la quantum mechanics shares close mathematical similarity to quantifying the meaning of word s\, phrases\, and sentences. In this talk\, I will provide an overview o f current techniques in modeling language past word vectors\, as well as point out the quantum mechanical aspects of these techniques. Emphasis will be placed on the “Compositional Distributional Semantics” model for the task of identifying word ambiguity."\;\n\nTags: meetup:event=ld wlhqyxpblb\, meetup:group=Portland-Machine-Learning-Meetup\, Artificial Intelligence\, natural language processing\, machine learning\, predicti ve analytics\, Deep Learning\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/even ts/1250474519 URL:https://www.meetup.com/Portland-Machine-Learning-Meetup/events/254338 888/ SUMMARY:Portland Machine Learning Meetup - PDX ML LOCATION:Uncorked Studios: 811 SE Stark St.\, Portland or 97214 us SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181017T182235Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181113T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181113T183000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181017T182235Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181017T182235Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250474457 DESCRIPTION:*** Please RSVP on Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/f ree-frontend-crash-course-html-css-tickets-51114615190?aff=Meetup *** Jo in us as we teach you the fundamentals of HTML &\; CSS while completi ng a series of challenges to help you master your new skills.

The water supply for irrigation largely comes from rivers and creeks\, whose streamflow originates from the spri ngtime melting of winter snow. A water supply forecast is a prediction o f streamflow volume that will flow past a point on a stream during a spe cified season\, typically in the spring and summer. One of the primary s ources for the data is through NRCS SNOTEL( Snow Telemetry) data (availa ble to public as part of tax dollars at work). In this demo\, we showcas e one such tool (Timeseries ARIMAX model) to forecast Streamflow volume for Deschutes River Basin\, OR and later compare with actual data to see how it performed. \;\n \;\nIf you would like to join the discussi on check us out on Zoom https://zoom.us/j/7891236789. \;\n \;\nDo you want to learn and share your passion in a supportive community?

Co me sit in on an exclusive conversation with Dr. Tim Oates\, professor an d practitioner\, who will share what appeals to intuition as to why the methods work and provide concrete examples of their application to simpl e problems. \;\n \;\nWe will discuss transfer learning\, open sour ce datasets and synthetic data\, few shot learning\, active learning\, a nd semi-supervised learning. By the end of the evening\, you should unde rstand what all of these methods are\, when they are applicable\, and wh at kinds of results you can expect from using them. \;\n \;\nDr. T im Oates is Chief Data Scientist at Synaptiq and an Oros Family Professo r of Computer Science and Technology in the Department of Computer Scien ce and Electrical Engineering at the University of Maryland Baltimore Co unty. He received a Ph.D. degree from the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst in 2001 with a focus on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Lear ning\, and spent a year as a postdoc in the MIT AI Lab. He is an author or co-author of more than 150 peer reviewed papers in AI\, ML\, and data mining. Dr. Oates served as Chief Scientist for a big data startup in t he contact management space\, and has consulted in a wide variety of ind ustries\, including healthcare\, construction\, amusement parks\, publis hing\, and social media.\n\nTags: machine learning\, Artificial Intellig ence\, labelling\, training\, models\n\nImported from: http://calagator. org/events/1250478383 URL:https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/4016563428155/WN_LMTGSfgzTrK mwiJE9uLOBg SUMMARY:How Much Data Do We Need LOCATION:Zoom Webinar: false SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20220703T213001Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220805 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220803 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20220703T213001Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20220703T213001Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250478398 DESCRIPTION:This event runs from Wednesday\, August 3\, 2022 at 8am throu gh Thursday\, August 4\, 2022 at 5pm.\n\nDescription:\nWorldFestival 202 2 | August 3-4\, 2022 \;\nTechnology innovation moves the world forwa rd.

This is especially true in analytical workloads involving Azure SQL when there is a need to either fully reload a table or incrementally upd ate a table. In order to handle the logic to incrementally update a tabl e or fully reload a table in Azure SQL (or Azure Synapse)\, we will need to create the following assets: \;\n• Metadata table in Azure SQL 3\;\n◦ This will contain the configurations needed to load each table en d to end \;\n• Metadata driven pipelines \;\n◦ Parent and child pi peline templates that will orchestrate and execute the ETL/ELT end to en d \;\n• Custom SQL logic for incremental processing \;\n◦ Dynamic SQL to perform the delete and insert based on criteria the user provides in the metadata table \;\n \;\nThis session uses Azure SQL DB as the source and sink databases. However\, Azure SQL MI\, On-Prem SQL\, an d Synapse Dedicated Pools (along with Synapse Pipelines) will also be co mpatible for this solution. As a source\, you can use databases like MyS QL\, Oracle\, and others. You will just need to adjust the query syntax/ connections to match the desired source. \;\n \;\nGuest Speaker: M arc Bushong \;\nMarc Bushong\, Senior Cloud Solution Architect at Mic rosoft\, has extensive experience in healthcare and higher education.
