Tianqi Chen will be in Santa Monica, June 2, 2016 and besides a meetup talk in the evening (already sold out, sorry) I'm also organizing an advanced workshop in the afternoon (3:00-6:00pm) to do more advanced stuff. There will be only 10 spots for the workshop and you'll have to apply by filling out this form (Update: workshop is full.). The workshop will be a mix of Tianqi talking about more advanced stuff and participants interacting, asking questions etc. (partly hands-on, bring your laptop and your specific questions/problems/datasets). We can use this github repo (issues, PR) for setting up questions/problems/topics etc. to be discussed in the workshop, feel free to participate. Location disclosed only to the selected participants.
