This is group which gathers to discuss topics in machine learning. This could be classification, clustering, neural networks, loss functions, graphical algorithms, information retrieval, data mining, artificial intelligence, search, game theory, computational learning theory, reinforcement learning, collaborative filtering, recommendation systems, bioinformatics, or really anything having to do with large scale data analysis and prediction. The usual format is to select a topic and/or paper for …

We'd like to work through some of the seminal texts in computer science that normally collect dust on the bookshelf (AIMA, PAIP, SICP, TAOCP, &c.) We've finished up Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs; and are currently working through Russell and Norvig's Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach.

This group is for people who are interested in Data Science, Big Data, Hadoop, Predictive Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and other disciplines involving turning raw data into value.

How can someone eat an elephant? One bite at a time. How can someone change the world? Solve one problem at a time. This group aims to explore the problem space of the world and to brainstorm solutions to those problems. We'll host weekly forums for brainstorming, discussions and workshops to conceive and implement our group solutions. We will start with a focus on Brain Machine Interface technology, Prosthetics and AI but other topics and areas are open for discussion. We invite everyone from t …

This group is for anyone interested in learning, developing and building stuff with Arduino. The main idea is to have talks and meetings about topics related with Arduino. Also it would be great if we can take that further by working on projects and experiments/research. People from every level are welcome to join this group.

Semantic Web in San Diego Meet local people interested in the Semantic Web, an initiative by the W3C [ http://www.w3c.org] to make the web "one giant database": The Data Web. We address technologies such as RDF, RDFS, OWL and applications that help to develop or that use ontologies, controlled vocabularies and rules systems in the enterprise and on the World Wide Web. The existence of a semantic web meetup group in San Diego will hopefully stimulate information exchange, and the growth of this …

About us: The Riverside Robotics Society is a group that promotes robotics in every way. Our monthly meetings will include classes on robotics, tips and pointers, contests, show and tell. Open to people over the age of 10. (Those under 18 must have parent present.) Our members create everything from miniature "bug bots" to full-scale human-size robots. We are an official branch of the Southern California Robotic Society!

We will introduce you to the first and only fully automated Stock Trading Technology now available to the general public. Our Our mission: To restore confidence to the middle class investor by leveraging technology and innovation! Our Goal is to help you Protect, Grow and Control your own money.

Anyone with an interest in transhumanism, cryonics and life extension is invited to join in and online conversation or host one of your own. Expect to meet transhumanists from across the country and around the world in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. If you'd like, you can organize your own online conversation. Everyone is an organizer here.

A group to promote robotic competitions among schools, robotic clubs and robotics hobbyists in Southern California. WE DO NOT INTEND TO COMPETE WITH OR DILUTE THE IMPORTANCE OF OTHER ORGANIZATIONS interested in robotics! Our primary purpose is to encourage communication and participation in established organizations in Southern California. As of 4 July, 2012, the following organizations have expressed interest in participating in Southern California robotics competitions: The San Diego Robotics …

LA Robotics Club is an organization that promotes the experimentation with electronics, provides a forum for discussion and sharing information, and gives its members a community to participate in and learn about the field of robotics and machine technology. We focus on projects that can be created on a tight budget, as well as large-scale artistic installations that require weeks of preparation and planning. Current projects include a Gantry Robot, a Homemade CNC machine, electro-luminescent mu …

If you like to build your own robots, come join us! These can be any kind of robots. Maybe small table-top autonomous robots made from Lego Mindstorms kits, or with custom Arduino brains. Or larger custom machined bots with Android cell phones as brains. Maybe quad-copter flying bots. How about battle bots. Or sumo bots. Or fire-fighting bots. Or? Let's get together and show off our robots and maybe create some local robotics competitions. Or maybe prepare together for national robotic competiti …

An Arduino programming group starting from scratch. We'll meet up and figure it out collectively. This is meant to be a convenient weekly get together where we bring our projects, work on them and try to work past roadblocks. It is also meant to inspire. What are you doing with this micro controller? What are you bringing to life with it? Are you animating your house, making interactive kinetic sculpture, making a robot? I've got a place for us to meet in old town Pasadena with nice big tables w …

San Diego Transhumanists is a place for forward-thinking individuals, whether or not they identify as transhumanists, singularitarians, skeptics, futurists or any other label. All reason-responsive people are welcome. The aim of the group is to foster a community of intellectual and personal growth for its members. The following topics are of particular relevance: 1) Discussing the future of humanity and sentient life. 2) Developing a broader awareness of the current state of the world, and wh …

It's becoming increasingly clear that technology is reshaping our world in incredibly profound ways. Let's get together to discuss, think, argue and explore what this change means for our most deeply felt beliefs. What is the value/purpose/meaning of a human life in a world where we're increasingly outdated? I anticipate this group being a discussion/reading/movie watching group. I've got some authors I'd like to explore (Ray Kurzweil, Thomas Carlson, John Modern among others) and movies I want …

Our mission: To restore confidence to the middle class investor by leveraging technology and innovation!  Our Goal is to help you Protect, Control, and Grow your own money.  Bring your ideas and strategies to discuss how best to improve your trading and be introduced to the first and only fully automated Stock Trading Technology now available to the general public.

The OC Quantified Self Meetup is inspired by the Bay Area Quantified Self Meetup and the Quantified Self blog. It is a regular show and tell for people who are tracking data about their body and conducting their own personal investigations and research into their bodies, minds, and selves. Anything is game -- from personal genetics to ways to digitize and track information, from how to self-diagnose to how to self-experiment with data and statistics. More specific topics include: * self-experime …

Praxis is "Practical application or exercise of a branch of learning." This group is for people interested in building electronics projects; in taking theory to implementation. All skill levels are welcome from seasoned electrical engineers to enthusiasts with an interest in electronics oriented design and who need help on a project, want to help out on projects, are also interested in discussing projects with other interested people. If you have a finished project you want to showcase, a design …

Hi my name is Zeke and i am the founder of Computer Science Laboratories. I was one of the co developers of the Lasek eye surgical machines, the Tamagotchi (virtual pet), I have worked for NASA, JPL and Hughes Space and communications. I was a also a prototype engineer for Lanard Toys and Mattel. I am a robotics engineer and prototype engineer. I started this group to introduce people to Arduino, microcontrollers and product development, more specifically; prototyping.

This is group for individuals wishing to develop, build and program drones. I have degrees in Physics and Engineering and I have taught programming (including Artificial Intelligence) for 18 years. I am starting this group to work with other entrepreneurs and drone enthusiasts to develop drones to support business activity. I'm looking forward to having fun solving problems together.
