<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Hello fellow data scientists!</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Yesterday was our final meetup of the year, but we will certainly be meeting up next year! I've attached the brief notes that I made regarding the material from weeks 9,10, and 11. In the notes you will find links to
a few articles from "towardsdatascience.com" and "medium.com" both are quite good sources and are probably more useful than my notes themselves.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Next year: we briefly discussed what we plan on doing in the coming year, and we decided that the best approach is to start by taking a very practical course on building machine learning systems using an established library.
Specifically, we decided that we will be taking a course given by IBM through edX using the PyTorch framework:</p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Deep Learning with Python and PyTorch:</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><a href="https://www.edx.org/course/deep-learning-with-python-and-pytorch" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk523726" previewremoved="true">https://www.edx.org/course/deep-learning-with-python-and-pytorch</a></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">(This course is free to enroll in, 6 weeks long and each week is estimated at 2-4h of work)</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Our goal is to start with this course and learn how to use PyTorch, then do some sort of project afterwards to hone our skills.
<i>Hopefully</i> we will have some sort of physics related project, but that is still in the works. (If you have a physics-related project in mind, let me know!)</p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Cheers,</p>
