Machine Learning

Presented by Bhavani Rao, Capital One

Want to understand how Amazon recommends items we might be interested to buy? How Google personalizes news for us? Want to predict the selling price of your house? And many more cool things.

It is all possible because of Machine Learning technology – it is about the science of getting computers to act without being explicitly programmed.

Machine learning is so pervasive today that you probably use it dozens of times a day without knowing it. Many researchers also think it is the best way to make progress towards human-level artificial intelligence.

Come join us for a session on 'Introduction to Machine Learning,' complete with snacks, drinks, and networking.

About the speaker

"I am a passionate technologist and software developer with about 7 years of industry experience. My interest in machine learning started when I went online shopping for a camping trip and was surprised to see the recommendation of related items, and I wanted to understand the science behind such cool recommendations. With that beginning, I completed a couple of online courses, attended data science boot camp, and worked on few machine learning projects with datasets that were publicly available. I'm currently working on prototyping this concept on some real world data. I also enjoy creating board games for fun."
