OK - I would like to start with tasks that allow me to get familiar with (parts of) the code base, conventions, tests and so on. Eventually, I would like to work on algorithms and applied mathematics aspects. Does that make sense? On Mon, Aug 31, 2015 at 12:43 PM, Andreas Mueller wrote: > Hi Pi

Hi Jose, the concept of Data Science Retreat sounds interesting; could you provide some more details? How often would the course take place? Is it on demand by customers or would it take place regularly? The courses are 2-3 days and take place in Berlin, right? What does "teaching" mean at DSR? Wh

Hi Pieter. Welcome to the project. There are many open issues. Check the "easy" and "needs contributor" tags. Also, it might be possible to pick up old pull requests that got stalled. Best, Andy On 08/29/2015 11:47 PM, Pieter de Jong wrote: Hi all, I hope to contribute to scikit-learn in the

You will not get results close to ensembles with pruning (unless your dataset is very specific). You can probably do your node filtering on ensembles, too. On 08/30/2015 03:44 PM, Rex X wrote: Jacob, I agree with both of your points about the ensemble methods. They can give quite good predicti

Hi all, First, congrats to everyone involved. Scikit-learn is a pleasure to use, and it has helped many people get into machine learning. For those who were around before nice libraries like these, it feels like the younger generation has it too easy :) We use Scikit-learn and filter for people w
