CodeMash 2020 | Machine Learning on the Cheap and without a PhD in Math | Jim Wilson
What you'll learn
Machine learning used to require a command of advanced mathematics, years of university training, and expensive hardware. With better open source tools and online resources, it’s easier to create robust neural networks. It’s possible to learn the fundamentals of machine learning and experiment with different architectures to create your own optimized solutions. In this conference talk, Jim Wilson will cover the basics of neural nets and how to use Google Colab notebooks, Python, and the fastai/PyTorch libraries to develop your own customized neural networks for free.
About the author
CodeMash is a unique event that educates developers on current practices, methodologies and technology trends in variety of platforms and development languages such as Java, .NET, Ruby and PHP. Held every January at the lush Kalahari Resort in Sandusky, Ohio, attendees will be able to attend a world-class technical conference amid Ohio’s largest indoor waterpark. Nobody will frown if you show up in shorts, sandals, and your loudest t-shirt. You might even win a prize for doing so. It’s not just ... moreabout a grind of sessions, but also providing attendees the opportunity of continuing the conversations and networking outside of the daily conference events. The goal has always been to achieve this mission by creating a conference environment that focuses on professionalism and respect for one another.
