Fascination Science public lecture Tuesday (25 June) - Predicting GDP using Machine Learning
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on its own is not a very sexy topic, but trying to predict it using machine learning and data analysis might be!
Our next lecture in the Fascination Science series is on Tuesday 25th June 7pm-8.30pm at Massey University's Albany campus in the Sir Neil Waters lecture theatre. It will look at the colourful history of GDP including criticisms and some clever global estimation strategies.
Although often described as an economic measure, the problem that needs to be solved is not GDP's relevance, but the ability to get quick up-to-date indicators of GDP in a relevant time frame. Information on what happened three months ago is of limited use.
Massey University's Dr Teo Susnjak will outline his approach to building a real-time GDP predictor using machine learning, together with its forecasting results from the past six months.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

Home made bread problem
Is anyone else having trouble with bread dough not rising properly?
I used to be able to turn out a decent loaf but now the bread is half the height - if that - and very dense.
I've used 4 different brands of yeast including the type bakers use to no avail. I've changed the flour to the best available and I've followed the recipe meticulously.
It can only be the flour?
What do you think?
