    Presentations:

"Dimension reduction, and word embeddings, in Natural Language  
Processing" - by Darren Cook

Darren will talk about dimension reduction, and word embeddings in  
particular: the technology underlying a lot of the recent advances in  
natural language processing. He will show the same example in both  
English and Japanese, so you can get a good feel for what bits are  
common between languages, and what still needs language-specific processing.

Darren Cook is a data scientist, and director at QQ Trend Ltd. He is
author of two O'Reilly books, one on low-latency streaming to the
browser, one on the H2O machine learning system. Currently based in the
U.K., after nearly 20 years in Japan. A TLUG member since forever, but
only gets to a meeting once every five years or so...

All Linux users and supporters of open source code and free software
are invited to attend this Tokyo Linux Users Group (TLUG) meeting.
Membership is open to anyone. There are no membership dues or entrance
fees.

About TLUG
----------
TLUG is a non-profit, non-political organization established in June
of 1994 to exchange information on the use of Linux and Free Software
Foundation tools. TLUG has an active mailing list, home page, and
regular physical meetings. Discussions are primarily held in English,
but non-English speakers are encouraged to come and participate.
We especially want to encourage Japanese people to attend and will make
efforts to support a bilingual meeting.

TLUG generally hosts technical meetings every odd-numbered month on the
2nd Saturday, and a nomikai (social even at a pub) every even-numbered
month on the 2nd Friday.
