Masterclass: Building intelligent applications with A.I. technologies

“AI is the new electricity” says Andrew Ng, one of the pioneers of AI and online learning. His remark may be an overstatement, bit there’s no denying the impact AI has had, is having, and will continue to have on our lives, at both personal and professional levels.

Date: 29 – 30 October 2018, Iasi

About the training

One of the core instruments of AI is Machine Learning, and by attending this workshop you will get the chance to learn about ML and understand how you can use it effectively. During this workshop, you will learn about the types of problems solved by Machine Learning, the most used algorithms, the metrics used to compare their performance, and how to improve said performance.

After attending this workshop, you will be able to assess a Machine Learning problem, decide how to approach it using ML, train and evaluate a predictive model, and fine-tune its performance to match your accuracy criteria.
