Most AI classes are either too brief to enable programmers to use machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) from raw data to useful decision — and when to use which technique — or are too long to devote the required weeks/months for sufficient understanding of how, and when, to use ML and DL in practice. We will leverage experience working with real customers to deliver an accelerated introduction to ML and DL covering all stages — from data preparation to training to inferencing — with real examples showcasing the power, and appropriate usage, of both. We will use pre-prepared scripts, data, and codes, and the ‘cooking show’ method of moving to completed versions of each step quickly, enabling listeners to understand each step without spending hours/days of actual data manipulation and coding.
