The meetup will happen from 3pm to 4.45pm at the office of Viasat India in SP Infocity campus (Google Maps ). We are going to present on this paper: *"Deep learning ." Yann LeCun, Yoshua Bengio, and Geoffrey Hinton. Nature. 2015. * *How it works:* Someone proposes a research paper that they want to present at the next meeting. At the meeting, the presentation happens for 30-60 minutes followed by a discussion with the audience. The meetings are open for all to attend. Refreshments will be served. *Pre-requisites for meetup on Saturday:* We received permission to use Viasat SP Infocity campus as a venue. Due to security policies, any outside visitors will have to RSVP before attending the event. *Please email your name and contact number at least one day in advance*. The exact address is Viasat India Private Limited Module 1 & 2, 5th Floor, Block C, SP Infocity, No 40, MGR Salai, Kandanchavadi, Perungudi, Chennai 600096. If you are coming by public transport, there are two options: 1. Chennai MRTS Chennai Beach to Velachery Line: Get down at Taramani MRTS Railway Station and take an auto to SP Infocity Main Gate. Auto shouldn't cost Rs.30-40.and you will reach in 5 minutes. 2. Get down at Kandanchavadi bus stand and walk for 10 minutes on Anna Nedun Salai Road. Please come to the Main Gate. *Benefits* - It is possible to develop a principled understanding of technical problems when you explore the research literature. For example, the Meltdown and Spectre processor vulnerabilities were first published as research papers. - Research papers are more trust-worthy since most of them are peer-reviewed i.e., they are published after their claims are reviewed by other experts in that area. In contrast to this, blogs and news websites are incentivized to hype recent advances and promote click-bait content . - You might step out of your comfort zone (research ideas are sometimes complex) and meet interesting people. - Computer Science is advancing at a tremendous pace. If you engage with the research community, your knowledge will grow and compound over time. This knowledge can help you solve challenging business problems . - ?When I talk to researchers, when I talk to people wanting to engage in entrepreneurship, I tell them that if you read research papers consistently, if you seriously study half a dozen papers a week and you do that for two years, after those two years you will have learned a lot. This is a fantastic investment in your own long term development? ? Andrew Ng (Co-founder of Coursera, among other things) We look forward to seeing you there. Thank you.

I am Co-founder of ImageKit.io , we are based out of Gurgaon. Our current product makes image optimization and transformation dead simple. We help brands like Nykaa, Purplle, Jaypore, etc. to load images faster on their website. It works in real-time, optimizes image size by over 30%, doesn?t require any changes to a company?s current infrastructure and is very economical even at scale. Now we are expanding beyond image optimization. Building products for other forms of media and web performance. Wondering if you are looking for a change which demands great technical skills and demonstration of excellent product sense. Does below job description excites you? - Work on building a new product from scratch. It would be like a startup within a startup. You may need to get your hands dirty with content, sales, and marketing stuff as well. - Research about possible customers to create an MVP that is at par with other international products in terms of quality and usability - Will require knowledge of Javascript / NodeJS, Python (or any other language), HTML - Work closely with the infrastructure to build a high scale service. Please share your updated resume to manu at imagekit.io and we can take it from there. Looking forward to hearing from you.

A conference can never be possible without volunteer workforce being it. This is your chance to help out. This mail is regarding workgroup formation for the various teams required for PyCon India 2018.? Before we begin, I would like to state the below to avoid any confusion. *Workgroup*- Core group of people responsible for the execution of tasks mandated for a given team.? The workgroup is also responsible for setting guidelines on the team's working. As a community, we can come to a consensus about people involved in a workgroup. Typically, we could have 4-6 people per workgroup. It would also be great to have representation from various active Python communities so that the conference works as a comprehensive effort by everybody.? *Volunteers*- The workgroup along with the volunteers execute the various tasks in the shape and form as agreed within the workgroup. Ideally, anybody and everybody who want to contribute to the given team can sign up as volunteers.? Please note, a call for volunteers will follow once workgroups are created.? At this point, we need workgroups to be formed for the following teams.? I have also mentioned the names of the HydPy Moderators for each of the teams. 1. *Website/Design*- Chirag Choudary/Ananyo Maiti 2. *CFP/Sessions*- Ramanathan R/Divya 3. *Sponsorship*- Chirag Choudhary/Kanchan 4. *Social Media*- Sanchit Balchandani I request the community to come forward and nominate yourself for being part of a workgroup.? Please fill the google form (https://goo.gl/forms/gUjqKPKi8Imhtjgn1) to nominate yourself.? The nomination process would be closed by *March 28th*. Please note, this is *not* a call for volunteers, and hence it would be great to have people with some experience in respective/similar workgroups.? Request nobody to get offended as we are asking for prior experience. Given that this is the first time we are trying out the workgroup model it would be great if people with expertise come forward and set the process so that the baton could be passed on to anybody interested from next year.
