For the context sauce:
For the cake of understanding:
Mix all ingredients for the context sauce in a large bowl and let them sit for a while. You will know they are ready when you start seeing ads following you everywhere you go.
On a separate tray, prepare your personal data and let it simmer on an online pressure cooker for about a year, until multiple digital personalities ferment and have a life of their own.
Algorithmic Kitchen is a workshop where you will learn how algorithms munch on big data and how these algorithms are made. During this workshop you will make your own and we will let it crunch its logic on a large database of fine cuisine. Together we will cook the tastiest outcomes, so that you can have your cake and eat it too. Serve warm and in good company. Goes well with bubbles or nutty liqueurs.
The Pantry is a customized version of Anaconda Python that we use during the workshop. It is a web-based programming environment that is quickly becoming the standard in Data Science.
Attendants will be able to get their hands dirty starting from a set of pre-loaded examples, so that they can start messing with their algorithmic recipe book right away. No prior knowledge of programming is required, but if you have any experience it wont hurt.
Using the pantry you can learn how to use algorithms used in many modern applications such as sentiment analysis, natural language processing, recommender systems, etc.
