Introduction to Python and its Mighty Powers

The terms Python, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning are buzzwords that have been strewn about in ads and subjects of cynical news articles. This session will introduce basic concepts and syntax of the Python language and demonstrate how the application of some basic machine learning methods can generate non-trivial results for problems found in a domain as full of abstraction and uncertainty as law. We will provide an over view of natural language processing, document classification, and clustering. Presented by: Miguel Wong and Ganesh Gopalakrishnan
