Join Us Tomorrow at Trulia – Distributed GBM!

Hi hackers! Just a quick reminder we’ll be joining our friends at Trulia tomorrow for a meetup on machine learning discussing Distributed GBM.

GBM is one of the most popular machine learning algorithms used in data mining competitions. Most of us use GBM through R implementation.  However, we have recently written a distributed version for their open source h2o platform, and in the process become quite the experts on the algorithm!  We are excited to share our knowledge.
Abstract
Earl Hathaway, 0xdata resident data scientist, will present on what types of problems GBM is applicable, and review recent KDD & Kaggle wins that used it.
Cliff Click, 0xdata CTO, will present about implementation and design choices of a Distributed GBM.
Schedule
