Practical Workshops on Machine Learning are coming soon in Bishkek! The event is part of Data Science Month Program organized by High Tech Park of the Kyrgyz Republic.
Day 1 ( September 22, 10:00-14:00 ): Demystifying Data Science and Machine Learning, and Demo Session.
This meetup will have two parts. In part one, you will hear a presentation that provides broad awareness and understanding of Data Science, Machine Learning, and AI. This talk will discuss the uses, misuses, possibilities, and limitations of Data Science, Machine Learning, and AI to a general audience. In part two, we will put Machine Learning into action with a brief, hands-on demo session using Python to highlight examples of building three predictive models using spreadsheet data, images, and text. (Completed notebooks will be provided for participants to follow along.)
Day 2 ( September 29, 10:00-14:00): Machine Learning Key Concepts Using Python.
In this meetup, we will go through an example project in Python from beginning to end. You'll practice key Machine Learning concepts like data visualization, data cleaning, data splitting, and model building. Emphasis will be on understanding the concepts, not the code. (Completed notebooks will be provided for participants to follow along.)
