This group is for connecting the Machine Learning community in Italy and, more locally, in Turin and Milan. The Machine Learning technologies are growing rapidly and are producing amazing results in many different fields. The aim of the group is to keep-up with this rapid-paced development, to share ideas, experiences and to keep an eye on the most important tools and libraries. We aim not to focus only on models and algorithms but also on processes, implementation and production deployment of real-world applications. All skills and experiences are welcome!

We strongly believe in knowledge sharing and Open Source, so we decided to create a series of Machine Learning tutorials to help the people with general programming skills to do the first steps in Machine Learning and Data Analysis.
