Open Data Science Conference East

In May 2016 I attended my first Open Data Science Conference in Boston. There were some 3,000+ data science practioners that came together at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center to share ideas about this rapidly changing discipline. The following topics were covered throughout the conference:

• Deep Learning
• Machine Learning
• Predictive Analytics
• Python
• Stan
• R
• Julia
• Hadoop
• Spark
• Scikit-learn
• Natural Language Processing

I attended sessions on popular data science statistical models and using Python for data science, where we worked through this example.

The workshop materials from the conference are available on opendatascience.com.
