Yet we need to be able to take both Angular and Angula rJS to production. That means we need to be able to set up our Angular p roject and our Webpack build to use Angular's AOT compiler. In this talk \, Sam Julien will show you how to do it and what pitfalls to avoid. \;\n \;\n**\\_(ツ)_/¯ Works on my machine: a practical approach to TDD :** How do you know if your code works? common stigma: [“You should writ es tests"\;\, "\;If you don't write tests from the start\, you'l l never get around to it”\, “I never have time to write tests”]. Nathan Brenner is here to show you how he got around these hurdles. \;\n \;\n**Say Bye Bye to Hybrid apps\, and Hello to NativeScript:** Ever wan ted to develop native mobile apps but couldn’t find the time to learn ne w languages? Or\, you tried hybrid app development but were not happy wi th the performance? NativeScript is here to offer you the best of hybrid and native development workflow. With NativeScript\, you are already a Mobile app developer! You will get a development experience which is sim ilar to the web\, while still getting a native mobile app as the end res ult. AND you can get to market up to 5x faster than a native approach\, with no compromise to performance.

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:20180310T014808Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180315T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180315T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180310T014808Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180310T014808Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250473400 DESCRIPTION:Historically\, the study of human consciousness was often con sidered to be outside the scope of scientific inquiry.

Gail Stonebarger is currently collab orating with the National Institute on Aging (NIA) to determine whether calorie restriction (CR) of 30% is able to delay or slow brain aging in rhesus macaque monkeys. Previously\, CR has been shown in various specie s to enhance cognition and metabolic function\, extend lifespan\, and\, in this population\, extend healthspan. In this talk\, Gail will discuss normal and pathological brain aging\, the unique population of very old monkeys housed at the NIA\, what effects CR has on the brain\, and will also include future directions of this research.\n\nTags: science\, soc ial\, neuroscience\, psychology\, diet\n\nImported from: http://calagato r.org/events/1250474858 URL:http://meetu.ps/e/Gf7k7/12Ddh/d SUMMARY:Calorie Restriction\, Longevity\, and Brain Health LOCATION:Vacasa: 926 NW 13th Ave #200\, Portland OR 97209 us SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190220T185020Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190312T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190312T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190220T185020Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20190220T185020Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250475105 DESCRIPTION:Does using Facebook leave you lonely?
