Machine Learning Course
by David Colling 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

Dear Physics Computing people, Our group has a machine learning course for our first year PGs each year. This course is run by Yandex (the Russian google) and is very hands on. Our students speak very highly of it and seem to learn a lot. This year Yandex have said that they would be happy for us to allow more people to attend and so we are going to allow a total of ~25 (including our 11 first years). While we run this for our first year PG students it would be suitable for any researcher actively interested in this area (it is a pretty intense course). We have created an Imperial College events page for this course (complete with a link to the registration page) and this can be found http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/newsandeventspggrp/imperialcollege/naturalscienc… While Yandex are very generously giving this course, we need to cover the expenses of their team while in London. If these are divided by 25 (ie everybody paying an equal share) this comes out to be ~£220/person so this is what we are charging. Please send forward this to anybody who you think might be interested. Best, david

Hi , Below is an email from Jeremy Cohen from DoC. He is trying to buildd a community of research software engineers throughout college. I think that anything that raises the profile of the people doing this sort of work is a good thing. So please forward this to anybody in your groups who may be interested. best, david -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Research Software Engineering mailing list Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2015 11:48:01 +0000 From: Jeremy Cohen <jeremy.cohen(a)imperial.ac.uk> To: David Colling <d.colling(a)imperial.ac.uk> Hi David, Find below an e-mail advertising the Research Software Engineering (RSE) community that I'm setting up. Feel free to forward to anyone you think may be interested. Regards, Jeremy ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear all, As part of a plan to build a Research Software Engineering (RSE) community within Imperial, a mailing list has been set up that will be used to advertise events and disseminate RSE-related information to software engineers, researchers, academics and any other interested parties within College. This builds on a recent RSE session held as part of the ICT HPC Service's Summer School event. The session had good attendance and feedback suggests there is enthusiasm for creating such a community within Imperial and having regular meetings. Initially, the plan is to have RSE community meetings approximately once a month lasting for 1-2 hours and consisting of one or two short technical talks followed by drinks and networking. The first meeting of the community, the RSE community kick-off meeting, will take place on Wednesday 2nd December from 16:30. Further details will be sent out nearer the time. You can sign up to the mailing list here: https://mailman.ic.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/rse For more information on the Imperial RSE community, see the RSE web pages at: http://www.imperial.ac.uk/computational-methods/rse/ Please feel free to disseminate this information to anyone else within College that you think may be interested. Kind regards, Jeremy -- Dr Jeremy Cohen Research Fellow Department of Computing Imperial College London South Kensington Campus London, SW7 2AZ
