The event is open to anyone interested in machine learning working in the Triangle area. Topics include predictive modeling and data science applications, algorithm design, reinforcement learning, natural language processing, etc. Registration for full time students is free, there is a $20 registration cost for non-students. Breakfast and lunch will be provided for all participants. Confirmed Speakers: - Mohit Bansal, UNC - Larry Carin, Duke - Marie Davidian, NCSU - Stacy Joines, IBM - Cynthia Rudin, Duke - Danny Siegle, Founder of Deep Learning RTP Meetup ?Getting Started in Deep Learning" - Matthew Philips, Kitware - Melinda Thielbar, SAS The program will include a poster session, and anyone wishing to contribute a poster must submit an abstract; not all abstracts will be selected as posters, depending on space limitations. The due date for poster submissions is February 15 and poster selections will be announced on March 15.

Some years back I had posted an article with a few lightning talk ideas: [1]http://www.pyptug.org/2012/12/python-lightning-talks-ideas.html Some were tongue in cheek of course, but interesting to see that most are still very relevant 6 years later. They would make fine full length talks too.
