Talk #2

Sailing the Seas of Data

When you're looking to start a career in data-oriented fields like machine learning, you can often encounter a buzzword bingo of hard to define terms: big data, data science, NLP,AI, deep learning, etc. All of this terminology really gets in the way of understanding what a person really needs to know & what they will really do once they get started working in this field. This talk will try to cut through that haze & give you a concrete picture of what it takes to be really valuable in a career in machine learning. It will cover the full lifecycle of jobs in machine learning from getting hired all the way to succeeding as a team.
