Building Robust Machine Learning Models.jpeg

Building Robust Machine Learning Models

When: August 23, 2017
Time: 6 pm - 8 pm
Where: Data Science Dojo

Modern machine learning libraries make model building look deceptively easy. An unnecessary emphasis (admittedly, annoying to the speaker) on tools like R, Python, SparkML, and techniques like deep learning is prevalent. Relying on tools and techniques while ignoring the fundamentals is the wrong approach to model building. 

Unlike most talks these days, this talk is not about deep learning. We will ignore the hype and strictly focus on fundamentals of building robust machine learning models.

Agenda:  
6:00 - 6:30 Grab some pizza and socialize   
6:30 - 7:45 Presentation   
7:45 - 8:00 Questions & Answers
