Gautam Rege writes:

For the past few months, we have been having a lot of fun on Friday evening – we don’t work! We hack on some open-source gems, work on some internal ideas (gems, rails projects and techniques) and we found it to be very useful (and fun).

We decided that this could be a good idea for the community – so every Friday @ 5.30pm, anyone interested in Ruby and any Ruby related technologies is more than welcome to over.

Have an Idea?

If you have an idea and want to get the Ruby community to build it, you’re welcome here – you can propose your idea and if there is a quorum, we can work on it.

Love coding?

Come on over and code with others. Bring your own laptop and share your knowledge with others

What do you need to bring?

Yourself and your laptop if you want to code. We shall provide snacks and soft-drinks at our office.

  • Date: Sat, 5 Jul 10:45am – 4:15pm
  • Location: Thoughtworks Technologies (New Office), 6th Floor, Binarius Building, Yerwada

HasGeek has arranged a day-long set of talks on the Applications of Machine Learning on 5th July, in Pune.

Here are the details:

Grouping similar messages using Topic modeling

In machine learning and natural language processing, a topic model is a type of statistical model for discovering abstract “topics” that occur in a collection of documents. At Helpshift, we get a lot of customer support messages. We use topic modelling and more specifically the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), to classify similar message automatically based on messages. These grouped messages can be processed by the CS personnel making them more efficient.
This talk will cover Helpshift’s experience and the challenges in using LDA for grouping similar messages without any prior knowledge.

Speaker – Vinayak Hegde

Vinayak Hegde is VP of Engineering at Helpshift. In the past, he has worked at Inmobi, Akamai and Microsoft.

The Cookie as a Customer: An E-commerce Perspective

In the brick and mortar days, the shopkeeper interacted with a live human customer with appearance, expressions and behavioural traits. These attributes influenced the way the shopkeeper pitched his goods. Flip to the current e-commerce world where you are interacting with a cookie which was dropped when a customer visited your website. How does an e-commerce store know the appearance, expressions and behavioural traits of a customer? Based on those characteristics, how does the sales pitch change? Where do these conversations happen?
In this session, Rahul Kulkarni demonstrates with real-world examples how big data from cookies translates into appearance, expressions and behavioural traits of the customer, and most importantly how these are used to make a killer sales pitch for the customer.

Speaker – Rahul Kulkarni

Rahul Kulkarni is the CPO of Sokrati and has been ex-Googler. Linkedin

Application of Machine Learning for Financial Markets prediction

This session covers case studies which use some of the classical as well as cutting-edge machine learning algorithms. Due to ill-conditioning and noisy nature of financial data, there are some unique characteristics of this problem that we will focus on. Robustness of modelling methodology, averaging of models, identifying what is true improvement in prediction accuracy versus over-fitting become some of the serious issues people will need look into.

Speaker – Aniruddha Pant

Aniruddha Pant is the founder and CEO of AlgoAnalytics. LinkedIn

In this session we would like to present a case study of our experience with AngularJS.

We’ll go over the practical challenges we ran into (…that are typical use cases for any rich internet application of today…) and how we addressed those challenges using various features of AngularJS.

Session Format

This session will assume that the audience is familiar with fundamental AngularJS constructs and mechanics.

The main aim of the session is to share knowledge among developers who have some experience of using AngularJS in the wild.

This will not be an ‘introductory’ tutorial-oriented session.

PRESENTER: Avinash Agreeable

Resources

For those who’ve not used AngularJS before and still wish to participate, here are some great resources to get you started with AngularJS.

We hope you befriend AngularJS beforehand, which will be necessary to fully appreciate the content and intent of this session.-

Turing100 Lecture: Talk on the Life and work of Leslie Lamport

  • Date: Sat, 28 Jun 2:00pm – 5:00pm
  • Location: Dewang Mehta Auditorium, “Bhageerath”, Persistent Systems, SB Road

Persistent System presents a talk on the life and work of Turing Award Winner Leslie Lamport, on 28 June, 2pm to 5pm, at the Dewang Mehta Auditorium, Persistent, SB Road.

In March 2014, Leslie Lamport was named the 2013 winner of the Alan Turing Award of the Association for Computing Machinery(ACM), widely regarded as the Nobel Prize in computing.

Over the past 40 years, Lamport has made several foundational contributions to the theory and practice of distributed computing. His early work includes the Bakery Algorithm for the mutual exclusion problem and an insightful paper on the importance of causality in a distributed system. He later investigated fault tolerance in the presence of so-called Byzantine failures—worst case scenarios that could disrupt the correct functioning of a distributed system. His distributed consensus algorithm Paxos is widely used in many modern replicated data storage systems. A recurrent theme in his work is the importance of precise specifications and formal reasoning in ensuring the correctness of concurrent systems.

Speaker: Madhavan Mukund, Dean of Studies, Chennai Mathematical Institute

After that there will be a short break for tea, followed by a talk on:

Skilling for SMAC – by Anand Deshpande

Social-Mobile-Analytics-Cloud (SMAC) technologies will play a significant role in the building of next generation software products and solutions. Building solutions on this SMAC-stack requires a unique set of technical skills, different from the traditional software programming. This talk will focus on some of the upcoming SMAC trends and the skills needed to stay relevant as these trends unfold.

Speaker: Anand Deshpande, CMD, Persistent

The event is free for everyone to attend. Register here

Venture Center Event: A documentary on the psychology of Industrial Design

  • Date: Sat, 28 Jun 3:00pm – 4:30pm
  • Location: Library, Venture Center, NCL Innovation Park, Pashan Road

“Objectified”: A documentary on the psychology of Industrial Design

The items you think the least about may have the most effective designs, according to the 2009 film “Objectified.”

Take the Post-it note. Have you ever considered that someone put a lot of time into its appearance?

The movie explores the unconscious but influential relationship we have with the objects around us, and why the smallest tweaks in design make an enormous difference.

Nearly everyone spends their life surrounded by the work of industrial designers, but very few people understand the process by which your furniture, cell phone, or alarm clock came to look and feel the way they do, and how the elements of design interact with our own ideas and assumptions about value and functionality. Objectified, which features interviews with a number of major designers who discuss how products move from the drawing board to the marketplace, and the philosophy behind the look, feel, and function of the things in your home.

Anchored by Firoz Siddiqui
