The plan is to detonate an intelligence explosion (leading to a technology-singularity) starting with an open-source Java artificial intelligence (AI) software which networks peoples' minds together through the internet using realtime interactive psychology of feedback loops between mouse movements and generated audio. "Technological singularity refers to the hypothetical future emergence of greater-than human intelligence through technological means." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technologic …

To explore and discuss Trading Systems. Open to all Strategies and Methodologies. No hard-selling, just friendly, intelligent discourse. - Technical Analysis - Artificial Intelligence systems, including but not limited to Neural networks Genetic algorithms - Datamining - Fundamental Value

Exchanging ideas with others about: - The Singularity - Transhumanism and Posthumanism - Artificial Intelligence - Nanotechnology - Science Fiction and Speculative Fiction - Science News

Meet others in the San Francisco Bay Area interested in Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM). HTM is a new computing paradigm that replicates the structure and function of the human neocortex. Join this group to help you understand HTM and begin building intelligent systems.

(This statement is borrowed from the blog on which this group is based.) Thinking and deciding are central to our daily lives. The Less Wrong community aims to gain expertise in how human brains think and decide, so that we can do so more successfully. We use the latest insights from  cognitive science, social psychology,probability theory, and decision theory to improve our understanding of how the world works and what we can do to achieve our goals. Want to know if your doctor's diagnosis is c …

We meet once a month to share lessons learned and give presentations on computer science, programming, design, HCI, complex systems development, compiler optimization, cryptography, computer music, AI... and whatever else the group finds interesting. The common thread is that most of the presenters and audience are programming language polyglots that know at least one dialect of lisp (eg Common Lisp, Scheme, Clojure, Emacs Lisp, etc) The format is usually "educational lightning talks" (5 minute …

We'll discuss different kinds of algorithms. First, we'll try to understand basic algorithms. We'll also discuss simple puzzles and brain teasers. If you are not from mathematical background, you'll find it simple and if you are from computer science, you'll find it interesting. You can also post any algorithms you want to discuss in particular.     Learning Practical Applications:   We'll try to understand algorithms practical applications. The challenge is not to write complex algorithms b …

Semantic Garage is at the cutting edge of semantic and natural language processing. It's where new web companies in the semantic space can showcase live demos and where open discussion and debate about the future and philosophy of semantic technologies emerge.

Data Science Global is a non-profit organization dedicated bringing together the world's communities of data scientists, artists, technologists and visionaries. Our mission and group values are: Free dissemination of Data Science Free debate, discussion, and forum of ideas Building a community of Data Scientists Passionate about Data Science We are technology agnostic We are vendor independent We promote Open Source We welcome sponsors as long as they agree not to pitch their products.

The primary focus of Arduino Bay is to teach innovation surrounding Arduino, and to facilitate networking.

Hi Everyone! As you know Professor Daphne Koller (Stanford University) has been kind enough to share & teach very interesting topic - Probabilistic Graphical Model (webpage https://www.coursera.org/pgm). Being actively interested in this area, I am forming this group for the engineering students/graduates/working professionals to discuss about the topics being taught, discuss assignments, form hangout groups(google+) and ask questions.

You are playing an unusual form of interactive entertainment. A COMPUTER is here, displaying mostly text. In accordance with tradition, the text is written in the SECOND PERSON. There is a group of PEOPLE here, and they are talking about INTERACTIVE FICTION. "Join us!" they call out. "It'll be fun!" > (Also follow us on Twitter and Facebook!)

A group to discuss all things Machine Learning! Topics may include (but are not limited to): learning theory, computer vision, natural language processing, data mining, computer audition, etc. Everyone is welcome!   Other local Machine Learning groups: https://www.noisebridge.net/index.php?title=Machine_Learning  

The SF Data Mining meetup focuses on all aspects of the data pipeline--from data acquisition and big data storage to machine learning and data visualization.  Current Goals Host speakers Host educational workshops Host volunteer events Highlight existing events around the bay area and organize transportation, etc Spread awareness of rising data mining technologies Who is this meetup for? Data engineers, analysts, scientists, and other practitioners Data visualization developers and designers …

This is a meetup for Bay Area users of Spark (www.spark-project.org), the high-speed Scala-based cluster programming framework. We'll be rotating among locations in San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and Berkeley. We'll also discuss other Spark-related projects, including the Hive-on-Spark port (Shark), and other new programming tools for big data. The meetup will include introductions to the various Spark features, case studies from current users, best practices for deployment and tuning, and futur …
