Hello Bay Area LUG members -
I'm a Master's of Management Information Systems student at the University
of Arizona. I am conducting a survey as part of my Master's research
project, which focuses on understanding similarities and differences
between various groups of technology/cyber enthusiasts. I'm hoping that a
few of you out there would be willing to participate.
The survey is anonymous (also, no PII or IPs collected) and it should only
take you 10-15 minutes to complete. The questions ask about your behavior
and personality. More information is provided once you follow the survey
link.

If you have any questions, I can be reached at airley(a)email.arizona.edu. I
sincerely appreciate your time!

The Linux Users' Group of Davis (LUGOD) will be holding the following meeting:
Monday
February 20, 2017
7:00pm - 9:00pm
Presentation:
"AlphaGo -- Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning"
Presented by:
Eric Rasmussen
Description:
In March 2016, the computer program AlphaGo cracked the game of Go,
an ancient strategy board game with ~2.082 * 10^170 legal positions
(imagine a 2 followed by 170 zeroes). The complexity of Go has made it
the subject of Artificial Intelligence (AI) research for decades, but
until last year computer Go programs were no match for human intuition.
This talk will give a gentle introduction to the machine learning
techniques that made the breakthrough possible, along with links and
resources to open source machine learning libraries.
About the Speaker:
Eric Rasmussen is an avid Go player, functional programming evangelist,
and Lead Software Developer at newcars.com.
This meeting will be held at:
Explorit
3141 5th Street
Davis, CA 95616
