The Amsterdam Applied Machine Learning Meetup Group is a gathering for anyone that is enthusiast about applied machine learning. The meetups are a healthy combination of working code an theory. The group aims to not only focus on models, but also on tools, implementation and production deployment.

This Wednesday (January 15), there will be two speakers:

Sean Owen – Design patterns for large-scale real-time learning

Having collected big data, organisations are now keen on big learning. Building production-ready large-scale machine learning systems however remains hard on Hadoop. Especially when real-time answers are required.

Effective implementations must take advantage of relaxed assumptions, adopt a new 2-tier architecture, and pick the right scale-friendly algorithms to succeed. Drawing on experience from Apache Mahout, Myrrix and new projects at Cloudera, in this session Sean will provide answers: a reference architecture and algorithm design choices for a successful and production-ready large-scale real-time learning system.

Sean Owen is director of data science for EMEA at Cloudera.

Tijmen Blankevoort – Neural networks and deep learning

Tijmen wil give an introduction to neural networks and deep learning. From the beginnings of the earliest neural network to the current state of affairs, Tijmen provides a comprehensive understanding of what deep learning is and how it is applied in practice.

Tijmen Blankevoort is co-founder at Scyfer.
