Due to the hype in the media recently around the recent advances in Deep Learning, machine learning & Ai has been touted about with images of terminator and a doomsday scenario or, as a panacea that can be used to solve any problem - and I believe there is currently a large misunderstanding of what machine learning is & what it can do for your business.
The giants such as Google, Amazon & others, have a firm understanding of what Data Science, Machine Learning & Ai can do to empower their businesses. So do startups, working with very specific machine learning algorithms to solve new problems. However, I believe there is a massive gap “in the middle” where a lot of companies that are not yet familiar with machine learning tech, could benefit immensely from Data Science, Machine Learning & Ai and use it to improve their business systems.
In this talk Paul, co-founder of SigmoidOne and the Sydney Machine Learning meetup group will:
Paul is passionate about all things Ai & likes to employ machine learning methods on novel applications.
Outside of this he actively performs research in the field of Deep Reinforcement Learning for the StarAi project & is the Founder of the Sydney Machine Learning group, the largest community of machine learning practitioners in Sydney, Australia.
