New Year, New Journey.

Last year we have been organizing 3 Big Data related events (one of them with IBM Big Data University) through ACSIP.

When K and I started to explore the idea about Big Data education/training, we realized that we need to equip ourselves first. From May 5 to June 16 last year, we both took the MIT course- Tackling the Challenges of Big Data. We then together gave a try on one of Kaggle Competitions - Titanic: Machine Learning from Disaster. When Toronto Blue Jays was on their way to clinch a playoff berth and division championship in 2015, we worked together to make predictions of Jays' games by using A Markov Chain Approach to Baseball with MLB statistics data available online.

At the beginning of new year, we would like to get deeper into the Big Data field. We will start to learn more related courses together. 

It will be fun and challenge. If you like, you can follow our journey.
