Machine Learning for the masses

This month we are pleased to have Poul out here from BigML in the USA to talk to us about BigML, and all good things about democratised machine learning.

GCSAgile are sponsoring beer and pizza. We are very pleased to be now holding these meetups at Fishburners - Sydney's most awesome startup space (thanks to Fishburners for sponsoring the venue).

Poul Petersen - BigML: The US based BigML team has been working hard for the past four years to democratize machine learning – making it more consumable, programmable, and scalable. The net result is an extremely powerful yet intuitive platform that can be leveraged equally by business analysts, developers and data scientists who are eager to perform a variety of predictive analytics and machine learning tasks.

In this session learn about anomaly detection, the basics behind decision trees and learn how past is predicting the future and is now easier and more accessible than ever thanks to converging trends of open source technologies, cloud-based computing and a growing ‘big data’ imperative – and is being uniquely enabled by innovative companies like BigML.
