Machine Learning (ML) has been around for well over a decade and, with the rise of “Big Data” analytics, has become especially prominent in the last few years. Many companies are now considering how best to use ML for predictive and prescriptive analytics and, ultimately, for maximizing revenue, profit and efficiency.
But ML has not seen broad adoption by mainstream technology specialists, and certainly not by business users. That’s a shame, because ML technology is evermore developer-friendly and, for it to be deployed most effectively, business users need to understand reasonable use cases for ML in their organizations.
This Webinar will explore ML concepts and use cases in terms business users can understand. The panel will also discuss in concrete terms how ML can be used by mainstream developers and database professionals.
Our panel will address these topics:
- Major Machine Learning algorithms and groupings
- Typical use cases for Machine Learning, and industries in which is it most widely-used
- Areas where Machine Learning is used less often, but are use cases with great efficacy, nevertheless
- The differences between data mining, machine learning, deep learning and predictive analytics
- How to integrate Machine Learning functionality into line-of-business applications
Speakers include:
- Andrew Brust, Research Director, Gigaom Research
- Paul Miller, Founder, The Cloud of Data
- Lynn Langit, Founder & Consultant, Lynn Langit
- Herain Oberoi, Director, Product Management, Microsoft
