From Noisebridge
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Hi, my name is Mike, and I'm interested in helping people learn about Machine Learning and more generally, Mathematics. My background is Computational Neuroscience, Machine Learning, and Software Development.

I started coming to Noisebridge in 2010 and helped revive the Machine_Learning group.

From 2010-2012 I helped keep the group organized, giving talks and encouraging people to come in and speak about their work.

As of November 2013 we are restarting the ML group. Although I feel comfortable teaching advanced topics, my main focus will be to provide a solid basis in the relevant math and programming required to do data analysis, for people new to ML from a variety of educational backgrounds.

I strongly support Noisebridge's anti-harassment policy. Having worked in Science and Technology for over a decade, I'm aware of gender and race disparities that plague the fields. I hope that there are things I can do to help foster a fun, inclusive educational environment, and am interested and open to ideas and suggestions on how to do that.
