Summary:

This workshop will provide an overview of how to use H2O, the scalable open source machine learning library, from Python.  The core algorithms of H2O are implemented in Java, however, fully-featured APIs are available in R, Python, Scala, and also through a web interface. The focus of this hands-on workshop will be the “h2o” Python module.

All of H2O’s algorithm implementations are distributed, which allows the software to scale to large datasets that may not fit into RAM on a single machine.  H2O currently features distributed implementations of Generalized Linear Models, Gradient Boosting Machines, Random Forest and Deep Neural Nets.  In this workshop, attendees will learn how to train machine learning models, perform grid search, cross-validation, and evaluate model performance using the H2O Python API.

Bio:

Erin LeDell is a Statistician and Machine Learning Scientist at H2O.ai. She is the main author of H2O Ensemble. Before joining H2O.ai, she was the Principal Data Scientist at Wise.io and Marvin Mobile Security (acquired by Veracode in 2012) and the founder of DataScientific, Inc.Erin received her Ph.D. in Biostatistics with a Designated Emphasis in Computational Science and Engineering from University of California, Berkeley. Her research focuses on ensemble machine learning, learning from imbalanced binary-outcome data, influence curve based variance estimation and statistical computing. She also holds a B.S. and M.A. in Mathematics.

What has Kaggle learned from 2 million machine learning models? Anthony Goldbloom, founder and CEO of Kaggle UPDATE:Video recording of the talk available here Kaggle is a community of almost 450K data scientists who have built almost 2MM machine learning models to participate in our competitions. Data scientists come to Kaggle to learn, collaborate and develop the state of the art in machine learning. This talk will cover some of the lessons on winning techniques we have learned from the Kaggle community.

Last week, the Python Data Science LA meetup debuted with a fabulous event. It was already much anticipated, with more than 250 people showing interest (RSVP+waiting list), and a lucky 100 converged upon the hip Venice Arts venue to hear our speakers. Our sponsor OpenMail has also done a fantastic job in getting us this venue, bringing food+drinks and taking care of all the details. Thanks OpenMail Team!
