Machine Learning
In these years, machine learning is getting more and more attention, and it is not only related to IT, computer science and engineering anymore. Nowadays, machine learning is applied in medicine, finance, business, law, and many other fields. It is changing everyone’s daily life and work; it is changing the world we live in. So, are you ready to start your path into data science and machine learning?
This comprehensive workshop will be your guide to learning how to use powerful machine learning algorithms! We will introduce you to machine learning algorithms, why it works effectively and efficiently, and how they can be applied to specific domains. This workshop is designed for anyone interested in getting started with machine learning, however more experienced students and academics are also welcome to join!
