Simplifying AI Technologies: Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing for the Beginner - Livestream

Despite all the talk about intelligent machines and devices that are listening to our conversations, few people understand what machine learning really is and how natural language processing works. What does it mean to say that machines can be taught to do stuff? Can they learn to understand us and even anticipate our behavior?

Join us for a two-part webinar series with Silicon Valley industry veteran Shashi Sathyanarayana who will simplify these popular technologies and, without using complex math, inspire you to learn more. 

WHO IS THIS FOR?

These webinars are aimed at the beginner, the curious, and the engineer wanting to learn new technologies. No prior exposure to ML, NLP, or statistical pattern recognition is needed. You can choose to attend one or both webinars.

Day Two: Can Machines Understand Language? 

In this introductory discussion about natural language processing, you’ll learn how seemingly mindless computer algorithms glean meaning and sentiment in written words and respond intelligently. You will see how NLP helps us compose more grammatically correct emails, helps advertisers insert more relevant (less annoying) ads into our feeds, and triggers our smartphones and smart homes to respond to spoken commands.

Simple examples will show you that all this (and more) is very much possible. More importantly, you will be convinced that you can work in, and contribute to, this exciting area.
