Next weekend is right after Thanksgiving, so I would suggest the following weekend. I should be open on either Saturday or Sunday; as we get closer, we can pick which one.
Meanwhile, I went through an awful lot of material preceding the presentation and am still finishing up my take on what materials were most useful to me. That GitHub repo I linked to earlier will have (at least a link to) my slide deck and example code. Stay tuned for more updates to it tonight/over the weekend.
OK I am fairly new to all of this, I plan on studying programming and deep learning for the long term, I believe there will be major opportunities over the next 10-20 years.
FYI Iād recommend access to a GPU with CUDA support. Training neural networks is (computationally) expensive.
Come to a NEIWG meeting. We are experimenting with Neural Networks for our prosthesis project. @renkessa Scott Is our leader.
will you be teaching more on this?
Someday soon, probably in early March at Improving Enterprises in Plano. However, Google is doing a live TensorFlow streaming talk thing on or around 2/15, and the Google Developers Group Dallas (GDG Dallas) is running an event around the talk on the 16th. Unfortunately I will probably be out of town that day.
can we meet, and talk about Tensor Flow? I am extremely interested in this topic.
@brianbterry and me are reliably at the Space on Wednesday evenings. Iām just a beginner, but Iāve begun to use TensorFlow in my research. Brian has more experience.
are you there on any other day? wednesdays are bad for me.
Iām at the Space often, but have an irregular schedule. I wonāt be around much in July.
OK thanks maybe we can meet up when you have some time.
Are you looking to use pre-existing models or actually code something from scratch with Tensorflow? I havenāt had the need to program anything specifically in TF yet because pre-existing models tend to work well enough for my needs. If you need to code your own, I can ask Jared from one of the other meetups if we could start some kind of office hours.
I just want to play around with TF and learn the process for myself. Nothing specific.
Take a look at this:
I talked to @brianbterry, who said he could make an effort to be there on Tuesday nights if thereās going to be regular TensorFlow discussion. I could do the same.
Could we meet this coming Tuesday? Would all of you be able to make it?
sounds great! yes lets meet up!!!
Iāll be there, certainly.
Yay, so glad folks can make it! I have made a calendar entry for it for Tuesday 6/27 6:30-9 PM in the Electronics Room; that should come online by Sunday. (The classrooms are full; doesnāt stop us from being in the common area, but wanted to have a reserved spot just in case.) Iām bringing in Jared Ostmeyer from UT Southwestern Medical Center who uses Tensorflow at work for research.
BTW, unlike Jared, My Tensorflow Project Isnāt Saving the World 
Although Iām new to TensorFlow, Iām in the process of learning how to train on datasets using the following TACC clusters for my research:

Iāll take all the input and advice I can get.
