I'm giving a talk at an NYC meetup next Tue if anyone's interested

A cognitive psychologist's approach to data mining
  -- How I beat Netflix Cinematch with perl

Synopsis:

There's more to data mining than scikit-learn or mahout. Why does
collaborative filtering work? Why does the ensemble approach work? Come to
think of it, how do we think? This very ambitious (!) talk will try to
ground predictive analyses of consumer behavior in what cognitive
scientists have learned about human memory and cognition, and demonstrate
through the Netflix prize project that the prediction of human behavior can
benefit greatly from an understanding of human memory and cognition.

Would love to see some PDL people if you are in NYC!


Best,
Maggie
