<p>Hi all, this month, we have team Data Ninja & YNC Hacks, who represented Singapore as the finalist in the Data Science Games at Paris! </p>
<p>The Data Science Game is a Data Science competition organized by the main “Grandes Écoles” of Paris. Teams of students from the best Data Science programs around the world are expected to compete over a “real-world” problem. A first qualifier phase of the competition took place online in June. The 20 best teams were invited for the final phase of the competition, which took place in Paris in September. </p>
<p>The qualifier phase was a image classification challenge and 2 teams from Singapore, Data Ninja (NUS) and YNC Hacks (Yale-NUS) managed to clinch the 9th and 17th spot respectively, earning them the spot to represent Singapore in the final phase in Paris. <a href="https://inclass.kaggle.com/c/data-science-game-2016-online-selection/leaderboard">https://inclass.kaggle.com/c/data-science-game-2016-online-selection/leaderboard</a>. The final phase is an insurance quote conversion challenge. They managed to rank 5th and 6th in the final phase, just behind teams from Russia, UK, France and Italy. <a href="http://www.datasciencegame.com/leaderboard">http://www.datasciencegame.com/leaderboard</a></p>
<p>They will share the approaches they employed in both phases as well as lessons learnt, using both as use cases contrasting deep learning and traditional machine learning techniques.</p>

<p>- Zane Lim Zhi Yuan: Data Scientist, a generalist who dabbles in everything from bayesian statistics to AI. <a href="https://sg.linkedin.com/in/zanelimzy">https://sg.linkedin.com/in/zanelimzy</a> </p>
<p>YNC Hacks (Yale-NUS):</p>
<p>- Muhd Amrullah is a Singaporean entrepreneur and a computer vision expert. He is also known to be the founder of one of ASEAN's leading computer vision company, Facerecog. Currently he is actively working on deep learning and generative models for human facial expressions. <a href="https://sg.linkedin.com/in/muhdamrullah">https://sg.linkedin.com/in/muhdamrullah</a></p>
<p>- Sean Saito is a final year computer science student at Yale-NUS College. He is currently doing research in computer vision for his final year project, namely on human activity recognition. Before that, he has dabbled in natural language processing at SAP. He is also founder of Code Gakko, a coding academy for students of all ages that hasoperates in Singapore and the Philippines. Upon request, he can dispense English in a Japanese accent. <a href="https://sg.linkedin.com/in/seansaito/en">https://sg.linkedin.com/in/seansaito/en</a></p>
<p>- Rohan Naidu is a senior at Yale-NUS studying Physics. He focuses primarily on astrophysics and has done extensive research in New Haven and Chile. Usually the “astro” in astrophysics means astronomy. But as a published poet he sometimes finds himself lost in the fictitious astrology. As champion of the Tata Crucible, he knows everything. Even what you ate for lunch three days ago. </p>
<p>- Gin Ong is a junior at Yale-NUS studying Mathematics. A typical day for Gin lasts around 30 hours, in which she solves wavelet transformations and permutation groups, lifts weights (yeah she lifts bro), dances to jazz and hip-hop, and takes down guys in touch rugby. Oh and she sleeps for three hours.</p>

<p>Florian Hopf is based in Germany and will be visiting us in Singapore. He wrote a book on Elasticsearch, blogs on <a href="http://blog.florian-hopf.de">http://blog.florian-hopf.de</a> and has tons of experience on anything that is search-related as well as Java technologies.
<br>Florian will walk up through Java clients for Elasticsearch. As communication is based on HTTP and JSON, Elasticsearch can be used with nearly all programming languages. But still, using Elasticsearch with Java is special. The current standard client connects via an internal protocol
<br>that brings some advantages and disadvantages and there are different alternative clients and abstractions.
<br>This talk will show you the basics of Elasticsearch and how to choose a client that suits your needs.</p>

<p>Synopsis: Social media, like Facebook and Twitter, have data feeds that contain a wealth of information that can aid in trend discovery. We recently worked with the United Nations to parse incoming social feed information to enable the UN to watch for trending keywords that could alert them to potential humanitarian crises like food shortages and terrorist attacks. One typical pattern for efficiently processing evolving datasets like this is to process the new slice of data incrementally and merge the results with previous results. In this talk, I will discuss how you can use incremental processing to make your data pipeline more efficient.</p>
