Devi will lead this discussion. She is also very kind to offer us to use her place for the meeting (unless there are other openings that are closer for everyone who is coming).
Time: 3:30 PM - 5:30 PM
Location: 425 Main Street. (That is Roosevelt Island. You can get there from the F train stop or the cable car from 2nd Avenue and 60th Street)
Possible Topics: Netflix Ratings Problem: Jim Collins - his books "built to last", "good to great," etc. (Some government statistics: http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/index.htm)
· About 2 years ago Netfix offered a prize of 1 million dollars - "The Netflix Prize seeks to substantially improve the accuracy of predictions about how much someone is going to love a movie based on their movie preferences." www.netflixprize.com
· Please google the Netfix puzzle and then we can discuss it.
· Lots of teams competed, Devi thinks they have closed the competition now, but she would love to hear about, discuss the solutions offered, etc.
· As for the government site, Devi thought it was interesting, and maybe (on another day) someone will give a talk on statistical methods in business.
Devi will need a RSVP list to leave with the doorman.
You can get there on the F train (Roosevelt Island stop) or on the tram (cable car) from 2nd ave between 59 and 60th streets. The tram takes metro card same as the subway and it’s a free transfer to the subways.
The R and 4,5, 6 trains stop nearby. and buses on 2nd and 3rd aves do so as well.
