[datameet] Data on Primary Health Centers in Bihar

[Shashank Srikant]

Hey all

Does anyone on the group have data on the primary health center in Bihar?
Or in any other state, for that matter.

This could be any organized information on the facilities, infrastructure,
footfall etc related to the PHCs in the various blocks of a state.

Thanks.
Shashank

[datameet] ML India - Interview series - Prof. Partha Pratim Talukdar

[Shashank Srikant]

We had the pleasure of interacting with Prof. Partha Pratim Talukdar from
IISc as part of our ML-India interview series.

His talks of his area of research - extracting knowledge from unstructured
data, and shows us how it spans multiple disciplines in computer science -
right from building theoretical machine learning models, to natural
language processing, to using crowd-sourcing and game theory to optimize on
sub-tasks, to finally building real-time scalable systems.

He also talks the state of ML research in India, applications of his work
to diverse areas like neuroscience and material science and eggs on young
minds to explore related research areas!

[datameet] ML-India at Bangalore and Chennai

[Shashank Srikant]

Hi all

The founding team, Varun [https://goo.gl/Cgk1fu] and Shashank [
https://goo.gl/rBcdnL], of ML-India will be at IISc, Bangalore and IIT
Madras, Chennai later this week. ML-India is an initiative to get all
activities related to machine learning in india under one roof. Check out
our analysis on the current publication record of researcher in India at
top ML-conferences at ml-india.org/insights

We would be happy to interact with people in Bangalore and Chennai who
might want to promote chapters of ML-India in their cities.

Some initiatives that we have started off with this year includes having
interviews of people, both in academia and industry, working in ML
 and also growing our
database of companies who use ML as one of the key components in their
products. We could discuss if anyone wants to lead such initiatives in
these cities specifically.

The team would be in Bangalore from 4 Feb to 7 Feb and will be in Chennai
on 8 and 9 Feb. Please feel free to drop in a line to
shashank.srik...@aspiringminds.com  to set up a
time to have a chat.

Looking forward.

Shashank

[datameet] Teach kids some data science! Pune - 11 October

[Shashank Srikant]

Hey all, 

Want to experience how young kids react when you teach them data science?

Aspiring Minds Research (research.aspiringminds.com) organized two camps, 
one in Bangalore and the other in Delhi, where kids from the 5th to 9th 
grades learnt data science through a hands-on exercise designed for them. 
They ended up experiencing the full cycle of building a supervised learning 
task and got to predict cool things at the end of the session.

This is a call for volunteers to mentor these kids and help them appreciate 
the nuances of the exercise.
It's quite simple - requires you to be curious and have a passion for 
communicating ideas with a preferable exposure to MS Excel.

The camp is for 5 hours this weekend - 11 October in Pune.

We managed to find great mentors from datameet for our Bangalore camp. We 
hope we'll see you over for this one!

You can read more about the mentor experiences here 
- http://www.datasciencekids.org/search/label/mentor%20stories
You can read about the camp here - http://datasciencekids.org/

Write to shashank.srik...@aspiringminds.com to be a part of this camp. Fun 
promised!

[datameet] Data science kids - Call for volunteers - Pune - 11 October

[Shashank Srikant]

Hello all

Aspiring Minds Research (research.aspiringminds.com) had organized a data
science camp for kids from 5th to 10th grades in June followed up by
another camp earlier this month.

It was a fun-event where 15-20 kids spent half a day learning the basics of
data science. They went through a hands-on exercise in the full-cycle of a
supervised learning task and ended up building a simple predictor!

A blog detailing the kids' experience and the design of the exercise is
available at - http://datasciencekids.org

After having organized these fun camps at Gurgaon and Bangalore, we're
organizing the Pune-edition of this camp on 11-October (it's a Sunday;
three weeks from now).
We've reached out to ~50 schools in Pune and will soon shortlist kids
who'll participate in this camp.

If you'd like to volunteer and be a part of this fun-filled day, you're
more than welcome to!
We had an amazing person from Bangalore who responded to a similar call
posted on datameet earlier this month and helped mentor a bunch of kids and
walk them through our exercise.

You could write to me on shashank.srik...@aspiringminds.com in case this
sounds exciting to you and if you want to be a part.

Look forward to your participation!

Shashank
