The updated invitation is below. Thanks, Karen ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Karen Vuong <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Jan 7, 2016 at 6:54 PM Subject: [VIRTUAL] MADlib Meeting: Bayesian Analysis of Binomial Response Models on MPP Databases (Greenplum & HAWQ) using MADlib Matrix Operations To: [email protected] Hello MADlib contributors, We'd like to invite you to the next MADlib virtual community meeting on Friday, January 15th. Gautam will present a 20-minute overview of some recent R&D work that he has been doing using MADlib. Gautam will present Bayesian analysis of binomial response models on MPP Databases like Greenplum and HAWQ using MADlib matrix operations. Specifically, he will walk the audience through Bayesian analysis involving MCMC sampling techniques of the Probit and Logistic regression models that accept arbitrary user specified parameter priors. The code for this analysis can be found on the following Github page: https://github.com/gautamsm/data-science-on-mpp/tree/master/BayesianAnalysis About Gautam Gautam Muralidhar is currently a Sr. Data Scientist at Pivotal where he helps customers derive actionable insights from data by solving machine learning problems for them using state of the art analytics infrastructure and tools from Pivotal's stack. His areas of expertise include machine learning, image processing, and computer vision. At Pivotal, his work has spanned multiple verticals including Automotive, Logistics, Finance, and Healthcare. He holds an undergraduate degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering from R. V. College of Engineering, Bangalore, India, and a masters and a Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin, USA. We look forward to having you join us!

A little icon appears in the address bar. It's EASY to miss. You click it and it allows Adobe to use the mic, even if you select 'allow' in the popup, it doesn't work until you change it in address bar too. ---------------- If you have never attended an Adobe Connect meeting before: Test your connection: https://pivotalcommunity.adobeconnect.com/common/help/en/support/meeting_test.htm Get a quick overview: http://www.adobe.com/products/adobeconnect.html Thanks, Karen Vuong
