What
Machine Learning
"A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of tasks T and performance measure P if its performance at tasks in T, as measured by P, improves with experience E.” (Tom Mitchell, 1997).
How to make a machine learn*
Gather a lot of data (text,images, sounds)
Divide that data into a training set and a test set
The training set is categorized (sorted by hand or by machine)
The test set is uncategorized
Use an algorithm to train a model with the training set by pairing input with expected output
Use the test set to test the accuracy of the training
rinse & repeat
Machine Learning is Easy!
DIY Machine Learning is hard
you need a lot of firepower & skillz
Let's leverage the cloud!
Let's build something!
