Intro to Machine Learning

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Our first Meetup of the 2019-2020 season will be an introduction to Machine Learning (ML). Our guest speakers will aim to answer these key questions:

1. What is ML and how is it related to Artificial Intelligence?

2. What are practical applications of ML?

3. What are major issues / concerns with ML?

4. What are the key skills and technologies involved and where can one research, learn, and apply?

WHAT IS THE FORMAT?

We'll have a quick introduction by our host, followed by two guest speakers and then a moderated Q&A panel. There will be time for meeting fellow attendees, speakers, and panelists as well.
