Artificial Intelligence - From Bust to Boom
\nPresented by Jason Spackman\, Data Scientist\, IBM
\n \;
\nJoin us at the next Data Analytics Users Group when Jason Spackman from IBM covers the evolution of artificial intelligence &ndash\; both then and now. \; Spackman will start the discussion with the original vision of computers and learning and then move forward into classical machine learning\, as well as what users have been doing for the last 15 years.
\n
\nLater he&rsquo\;ll discuss the modern paradigm and how advances in processing have started to throw open the doors to machine learning\, finally starting to fill aspects of the original vision. He'\;ll wrap up with a couple of live examples\, including using IBM ML to create a simple predictive model.
