About

This repository holds the slides used in talks delivered in 2022 at the North East Data Science meetup events.

The Event

We are the North East Data Scientists, and we love all things data!

We are an inclusive community which meets six times a year to listen to talks from data innovators, experts, and enthusiasts, as well as to learn about the latest data science tools and technologies with hands-on-workshops!

All our events are free-to-attend, and are a great opportunity to network with like-minded data professionals, software developers, students, engineers, and entrepreneurs. We meet in the award-winning Catalyst building in Newcastle upon Tyne.

We are sponsored by:

Jumping Rivers, an analytics company whose passion is data and machine learning.
The National Innovation Centre for Data (NICD)
The R Consortium
