Encore un event Boost Your Skills et cette fois pour parler Machine Learning : Comment optimiser les modèles de Machine Learning ? L’optimisation des modèles de Machine Learning est un des principaux enjeux pour un Data Scientist. L'objectif est surtout d'obtenir de meilleures performances et d'augmenter la précision du modèle, en particulier dans des secteurs où les erreurs peuvent avoir un réel impact. On parle notamment d'optimisation des hyper-paramètres. Il existe plusieurs méthodes d'optimisation. Nous avons des techniques “classiques” avec les méthodes par grilles, faciles à mettre en place, mais qui présentent leurs limites. Ensuite nous avons les méthodes bayésiennes, où l'on capitalise sur les expérimentations précédentes pour s'orienter vers les bonnes valeurs. Contrairement aux précédentes méthodes qui évaluent chaque expérimentation de manière indépendante, l'optimisation bayésienne est vu comme LA méthode de choix pour les modèles longs à entraîner. Il s’agit d’un sujet clé pour gagner en efficacité. Voici le plan du Workshop : ✔️ Présentation des méthodes de recherche par grille ✔️ Présentation des méthodes bayésiennes ✔️ Lien avec l’AutoML ✔️ Cas d'application Etc … 🖥 L’optimisation en Machine Learning n’aura plus aucun secret pour toi suite à cet event.

Who Is Your Ideal Customer - Building a Customer Avatar to Drive More Leads Do you know who your ideal customer is? Most entrepreneurs would say my products or services are for everyone but that can be a very costly and dangerous decision. Why? A customer who isn't your ideal customer can exhaust your time and resources, and even cost you more than what you would have gained. This workshop will focus on identifying who your ideal customers are, their buying behaviours, pain points and interest. This level of insight will help you understand your customers and it will help you create marketing strategies that will resonate to them, which can drive higher conversion rates. By understanding what your customers want, you can also develop and improve products or services in an effective way. RSVP Today!
