Getting Started with Machine Learning

Session info: In this session we will tackle the rudiments of Machine Learning: what it is, when we should use it, and the kinds of questions or problems it can solve. We will build on some of the earlier math concepts introduced to motivate a simple machine learning problem and create a tidy solution. About the speaker: Seth Juarez received a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science at UNLV with a Minor in Mathematics. He also completed a Masters Degree at the University of Utah in the field of Computer Science. Seth is currently interested in Artificial Intelligence specifically in the realm of Machine Learning. He is currently working on a .NET library meant to simplify the usage of the common machine learning algorithms. Seth currently live near Redmond, Washington and work for Microsoft.
