Machine Intelligence Garage is coming to Newcastle!

Join us for our next meetup, where we will delve into how local companies and initiatives have implemented AI in their workflows. This meetup provides a great opportunity to see real-world applications of AI; from understanding pressing societal problems to financial security to interpreting the information in maps and charts. You’ll have the chance to meet experts from DWP-Digital, Machine-Delta/Caspian, and Gavurin.

We will delve into examples of purpose-built data platforms that apply machine learning to understand data in many different domains.

The meetup will enable you to learn how companies use AI to;

Shape decision making for social strategy
Automate financial quality assurance to stop money laundering
Understand data from charts, maps and regional data sources
Our talks are from a range of companies, but all are pioneers in developing novel and exciting technology tools to solve multi-layer data problems.

Who should attend?

Register to attend if you are:

A company developing AI-enabled products
A researcher in the field of AI
A data scientist

Why attend?

Machine learning is becoming a standard part of the business lexicon, but it is not always clear how companies are incorporating ML into their products and services. This meetup provides the opportunity to meet some Newcastle based companies who have already implemented ML to solve some of the problems in their businesses.
