Tech Events by Bristol Data Science and Machine Learning Study Group

Open peer-support session from the Bristol Data Science and Machine Learning study group — bring a problem, work on it with others.

A working session rather than a talk night: the Bristol data science and machine learning study group meets to pick apart free courses and modules, hear members present live projects and blockers, and watch short demos of tools people are actually using for data science, machine learning and AI. Hosted by CY Y. and Sam D., 18:30 to 20:30 at DeskLodge House, 2 Redcliffe Way, on the ground floor. The format runs on contributions from the room, so the agenda firms up as members volunteer a course spotlight, a project or a demo. The group meets fortnightly. Free. Why go: one of the few Bristol rooms where you can bring a stuck model or a half-finished project and get a practitioner's read on it. Best for data scientists, analysts and ML engineers who learn by doing.

A working peer-support session for people learning data science, machine learning and AI, rather than a talks night. Members bring whatever they are stuck on: a course module, a half-built project, a paper they cannot parse. The room works through it together. The group runs a rotating set of formats across its fortnightly sessions: a course spotlight where one or two free courses or modules get picked apart, a project roundtable where members put up projects, blockers and ideas, member-led demos of DS, ML and AI tools, a paper club on a recent paper, and occasional two-hour mini hackathons. Each format is open for contributors. Hosted by CY Y. and Sam D., 18:30 to 20:30 at DeskLodge House on Redcliffe Way, ground floor. Bring a laptop; friends are welcome. Free to attend. Why go: it is a genuinely hands-on room for anyone mid-way through learning ML, and the contributor-led format means you get specific answers rather than a general introduction.

Course spotlight, project roundtable and member tool demos for the Bristol DS/ML study group.

Three parts: a spotlight on a free DS/ML course, a project roundtable where members bring their blockers, and member tool demos. Contributors wanted for each slot.

The group picks an ML topic and builds a proof of concept together on the night. Hands-on rather than lecture format, and genuinely open to beginners.

A relaxed peer support session for data scientists and ML practitioners of all levels. Bring your current projects, questions, or just curiosity — this friendly community meetup is a great space to learn, troubleshoot, and connect with others working in data and machine learning across Bristol.
