What can (large scale) machine learning do for you?

Tuesday, October 20, 2015
Dr. Abhinav Vishnu
We are producing and recording more data from simulations, experiments and instruments than ever before. With increasing volume, automatic data analysis is critical for generating high fidelity models. Machine Learning consists of a set of algorithms, which can generate models from data, consisting of large number of variables. Yet, the entire process is non-intuitive, and mistake prone. In this talk, we will present a set of steps which domain scientists may use for large scale data analysis. We will provide a brief introduction to these steps, and demonstrate with one or more use cases. We expect that many data producing domains will benefit significantly from this talk, with a potential for longer term collaboration.
