ABOUT EVENT

As humans, we can quickly recognize images based on our past experiences. We have all seen trees, water, cars, and animals and we can easily differentiate a truck from an SUV and a chair from a couch. But, how do you teach a computer to do the same?

Machine Learning is a data science discipline that uses statistical algorithms to allow models to become more proficient at predicting results. Deep Learning is a subset of Machine Learning which uses a multiple-layer approach to solving complex, pattern matching problems.

This hands-on lab will help you to understand the concepts of Machine Learning and Deep Learning using Visual Recognition as a use case. You will use both coding and non-coding environments to build and train models that will differentiate between and categorize images.
