6. Data Science for NOAA Chief Data Officer and Big Data Predictive Analytics Meetup Excellent presentation. Predictive Analytics in the Era of Big Data by Dave Vennergrund was precise and informative. Thanks for presenting. Great presentation on NOAA Big Data by Brand! Thanks!! Has anyone come across a list or database of all US businesses (free)? Very good quality talks. Hi, This is Ram, I am Java developer with 5 years experience. I want to get in Big data development projects what is best path to start for me. Sorry if this question is already asked earlier. Great video/sound app! The presentations were excellent as always. 6 http://www.meetup.com/Federal-Big-Data-Working-Group/events/213175262/

8. Data Science for Data Mining: Overview I suggested "Data Mining for the Masses" by Matthew North. It uses the CRISP Data Mining Conceptual Model that is used in the Data Science for Business book I did the tutorial for.

9. Data Science for Data Mining: Tutorial I will do a tutorial on this and would welcome anyone else doing and presenting on this as well. The steps I followed are as follows: – I merged the 14 CSV files into one Excel SpreadsheetExcel Spreadsheet – I copied the Book PDF files into MindTouch by first creating the Table of Contents structure and then copying individual sections of the book to support the Exploratory Data Analysis I did with Spotfire. – Instead of the book's text mining exercises and four text files in Chapter 12, I text mined the entire publication by building a structured knowledge base in the Excel Spreadsheet.Excel Spreadsheet Question: Can we do RapidMiner with Spotfire? The Answer is Yes and is shown in the Spotfire Screen Captures below. 9

16. 2014 George Mason and IBM Symposium on Diverse Data Analytics Applications In the last decade, data explosion and robust analytics tools engender “Big Data and Analytics” among the most popular words used in the computer engineering and IT industry. In addition, the cloud, the social, and the mobile environments generate a tremendous amount of personalized, geospatial and temporal data that is extremely valuable to education, business operations, government services, and the intelligence community. According to the Forum for Innovation, 90 percent of the world's data has been produced in the last two years. The operational need and market demand grow stronger and stronger. To create an opportunity to share Big Data and Analytics knowledge and technologies among academic institutions, industry leaders and government customers, George Mason University and IBM will host the conference "Big Data and Analytics 2014" on November 4th at George Mason University. In this conference, we have invited leaders and experts from academia, industry and government to discuss how big data and analytics hold the key to unlocking value. If you are a student, you will learn topics like data mining, statistical models, predictive analytics, and data visualization; if you are a researcher, you can compare notes with analytics experts from George Mason University, IBM and other colleagues; if you are a technology provider, you will get an update on the cutting edge of analytics in industry and research. 16 Web SiteWeb Site and SlidesSlides

18. Data Science for the HHS IDEA LAB: Knowledge Base 18 Data Science for the HHS IDEA LAB The HHS IDEA Lab is cultivating innovation for a more modern and effective government. They are striving to better harness the talent of the workforce at HHS and remove barriers HHS employees are faced with so they can act. They are doing this through a three pronged approach: Encouraging internal entrepreneurship by investing in HHS employees; Recognizing they don’t have all the answers inside government and are bringing in external talent to help; and Building communities of like-minded people across HHS to take on issues of strategic importance.

HHS IDEA Lab HHS IDEA Lab Hosts Demo Day for 11 Teams to Pitch Potentially Game-Changing Projects for Continued Support to HHS Senior Leadership: – Media Advisory for September 30, 2014, 10:30AM – 12:30AM What is the HHS IDEA Lab? – The approach the IDEA Lab takes is based on four tenets: Innovation is a direct result of the freedom to experiment. Design is critical to effectively communicate ideas. Entrepreneurship allows us to take advantage of underutilized talent. Action, above all else, is encouraged.
