This group is for those interested in the various types of Machine Learning from theory to application. Including but not limited to Hierarchical Temporal Memory, Artificial Neural Networks, Natural Language Processing, Artificial Intelligence and their theorems, techniques and algorithms. We will have guest speakers, discuss books and explore which machines (programs), ML Libraries and systems are best suited for particular jobs. Sharing new ideas, best practices, and resources so we can all design, develop and deploy solutions for a better tomorrow.

As well as his new upcoming book "The Economic Singularity" that Calum is nice enough to be sharing a review copy of. So what is "Singularity" you ask? Well there are many types Wikipedia puts it this way... Because the capabilities of such a superintelligencemay be impossible for a human to comprehend, the technological singularity is the point beyond which events may become unpredictable or even unfathomable to human intelligence. "I don't like the term'singularity' when applied to technology. A singularity is a state where physical laws no longer apply because some value or metric goes to infinity, such as the curvature of space-time at the center of a black hole. No one can predict what happens at a singularity."

Change of Plans.... We are going to bump this months OC Deep Learning Meetup to Wed. the 13th as several people requested it and no one objected. Plus this gives us the pleasure of hearing from Manuel Beltran Chief Software Architect, Battle Command Systems at Boeing. Mr. Beltran has over 20 years computer engineering experience and has worked as a Knowledge Engineer on various NASA projects, his Expert Systems and Neural Networks have provided many years of safe and successful Space Shuttle launch pad operations. Mr. Beltran also provided Software Engineering leadership, vision, and technical innovation to the US Army's Brigade Combat Team Modernization, formerly known as the Future Combat System. As the Chief Software Architect of the Battle Command System, he has been responsible for the software development of the largest military modernization effort in the history of the US military.
