SUMMARY:Startup Sales 101
DESCRIPTION:In the startup world\, we’re typically taught just to wing it (pun intended)\, jump off the cliff\, and build wings on the way down.\nBut if you could learn to pick up on the signs\, the indicators that there’s a cliff up ahead\, and do research on how to quickly build those wings mid-flight\, the chances are that you would.\nAnd herein lies the challenge of the startup world.

Collapsing years of learning while working tirelessly to help expand LiveNinja\, Miles has mastered what it takes to build out sales processes\, assemble effective results-driven teams that ultimately create recurring revenue to early stage startup companies.\nYOU CANNOT AFFORD TO MISS THIS FREE EVENT.

SUMMARY:Distributed Machine Learning with HPCC Systems
DESCRIPTION:HPCC (High Performance Computing Cluster) Systems from LexisNexis is an open source massive parallel-processing computing platform that solves Big Data problems. Included in the platform is an extensible set of fully parallel Machine Learning and Matrix processing algorithms to assist with business intelligence; covering supervised and unsupervised learning\, document and text analysis\, statistics and probabilities\, and general inductive inference related problems. ECL\, the high level declarative data oriented programming language used with the HPCC Systems platform along with the associated Machine Learning toolkit\, offer effortless linear scalability across entire clusters. A set of fully parallel linear algebra operations\, written in ECL\, provides extensibility\, allowing for the quick implementation of new high level algorithms.\nThe speaker will present an overview of the existing capabilities and algorithms of the HPCC Systems platform and ECL language and share our latest developments in distributed machine learning and how to leverage the most appropriate algorithms to quickly extract knowledge from big data to help make critical decisions.\nOpen discussion to follow. Attendees will have a chance to win a Kindle Fire! Pizza and refreshments will be served.\nOur speaker Dr. Flavio Villanustre leads HPCC Systems\, and is also VP\, Technology for LexisNexis Risk Solutions. In this position\, he is responsible for Information and Physical Security\, overall platform strategy and new product development. Dr. Villanustre is also involved in a number of projects involving Big Data integration\, analytics\, machine learning and business intelligence. Prior to 2001\, Flavio served in a variety of roles at different companies including Infrastructure\, Information Security and Information Technology.
