Machine Learning Made Easy with the Cloud

This month we have an incredible teacher focusing on Machine Learning. Come check out Ryan Tessier's lesson on ML in the Cloud.

All companies want to use machine learning, but face many roadblocks to getting there. It can be hard for an organization to get the skills, technology and computing power necessary to build a working machine learning model, and deploy it as a pipeline. Modern Cloud providers have a host of tools to make machine learning easier than ever before and they have available computing power to back it up. In this learning focused session, Ryan will introduce you to some basics of data for machine learning and show how cloud services like Microsoft Azure Machine Learning have made building scalable and accurate Machine Learning pipelines as easy as pivoting a table in excel.

Ryan Tessier currently works as the Manager of Analytics at SaskEnergy and up a new department and helping lead and organizational transformation around Data and Analytics. Prior to this Ryan spent years running technical and business professional development and partnership creation at Saskatchewan Polytechnic. Most recently Ryan helped build a training program and taught in the program himself on cloud skills to over 500+ university faculty and working professionals from around Canada. Prior to his work in training, Ryan worked in research machine learning. In his spare time... wait, Ryan doesn't have spare time because he is kept busy spending time with 4 young children (6, 4, and 6-month-old twins). Fortunately, all his kids (yes! even the babies) enjoy playing Minecraft with him, so that's enough relaxation for him.
