You may know that we have launched our webinar series starting this year and NC Chapter of ASA's Industrial Interest Group (IIG) is
hosting two 2-part series on Data Science and on Machine Learning; check out the website
community.amstat.org/northcarolina/events/webinars for further details on future webinars.Recorded versions of these webinars are also available online.
Please Register online to watch the second webinar in this series to be held on May 17th @ 12:00 noon, EDT:
Title: Introduction to Modern Machine Learning Techniques
Presenter: Funda Gunes, PhD - Senior Machine Learning Developer, SAS
This talk describes fundamental concepts of machine learning algorithms and covers key elements of training powerful predictive models. We will discuss overfitting, hyper-parameter tuning, cross validation, regularization, feature engineering, information leakage and ensemble modeling. You will learn how to train and tune modern machine learning techniques such as gradient boosting, neural nets, and random forests, and how to interactively build machine learning pipelines.
