Machine Learning 101
Today’s world generates different kinds of data at unbelievably rapid rates. This has resulted in a shift away from traditional software development towards fields like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Many are saying that Machine Learning is changing the world - but what does it mean? Why use it? What questions can it answer? This talk gives an overview of Machine Learning and delves deep into the pipeline used - right from fetching the data, the tools and frameworks used to creating models, gaining insights and telling a story.
By the end of this session, audience members will have a better grasp of the capabilities and the commonly used approaches of Machine Learning. They will be familiar with different parts of the Machine Learning pipeline and will develop a strong foundation to continue learning and experimenting using tools like Jupyter notebooks.
